SIMPLIFIED SPELLING 

Simplified spelling means progress. 

The spelling in this book is made to partially conform with 
the 1920 Dictionary of the Simplified Spelling Board, 1 Madi- 
son Ave., New York City, and with the rulings of the 
American Filological Society. 

This spelling is given in the Funk & Wagnalls Standard 
Dictionary — latest edition. 

The Simplified Spelling movement was begun about thirteen 
years ago. 

English spelling abounds in irregularities, inconsistencies, 
and absurdities. It is so irrational that we ar never sure how 
to spel a new word when we hear it, nor how to pronounce a 
new word when we read it. 

To lern it is a prodigious feat of memory that should not 
be demanded of children, and that impairs the development 
of their reasoning powers. 

To impart it exhausts the nervus energy of teachers. 

Hundreds of millions of hours of scool time ar wasted every 
year in far from successful efforts to lern it and to teach it — 
the cost of which is borne by the taxpayers. 

Millions of dollars in time, mony and material ar wasted 
yearly in riting, typeriting and printing that might be saved 
by dropping silent or misleading letters. 

The difficulties of English^ spelling greatly hinder the 
Americanization of our foren-born population, and more than 
anything else prevent the use of English as an international 
language. 

The Simplified Spelling Board has as its objects: 

(1) To awaken the American public to a realization that 
reform in spelling is not only necessary but possibl. 

(2) To point the way in which the simplification of Eng- 
lish spelling can be best brot about. 

(3) To put itself on record as recognizing that the ulti- 
mate goal of the Simplified Spelling movement is, and must 
truly be, a fonetic alfabet with enuf letters to represent at 
least aproximately each separate sound herd in the standard 
English speech. 

Better spelling, better speech. 



LOS ANGELES 

Los Angeles is the largest city west of St. Louis. It has a 
population of about 650,000 and is constantly growing. It is 
known the world over for its beautiful residences, deliteful 
climate, abundance of flowers and semi-tropical plants. Above 
all, from the motorist's standpoint, it can boast of having the 
greatest number of good auto-roads in its environments of 
any city in the world. 

For eastern physicians, the change in cumming to this 
beautiful city is a rare treat; and there is always enuf in the 
city itself, or the surrounding places, to instruct and fascinate 
one when they ar aot busy studying. 

As a resort for invaUds, probably Los Angeles is as good 
as any other city. The change from the cold eastern winters 
to the balmy climate of Southern Cahfornia is in itself a 
boon to the overwrought and helth-seeking patient. 

These ar a few salient facts to be borne in mind when 
taking a post-graduate course or when referring patients. 

Altho most of my life has been spent in the East in or 
about New York City, yet I hav adopted Los Angeles, Cali- 
fornia, as my home, and in so doing I hav foUowd the exampl 
of thousands who came, saw and wer conquerd.

INTRODUCTION 

In anser to the many inquiries that I reciev regarding the 
scope of my work, the teaching of my work to humanity 
helpers, Los Angeles climate, etc., I wil make the foUoing 
statements. 

Many seem to think that I do only diagnosis. Others think 
my sole work is teaching physicians my original methods of 
diagnosis and treatment, while others hav been told that I 
do only public lecturing. 

I teach physicians both my original methods of diagnosis 
and my original methods of treatment, as wel as numerus 
other methods of diagnosis and treatment that I hav found to 
be natural and helpful. 

My time is so fully occupied that I cannot go out of my 
offis to treat. 

I hav been developing fisical apparatus and sistems for 
treating diseas since 1882, and hav one of the most modemly 
equipt establishments in this cuntry for treating cronic diseas. 

I take only cronic cases, and am equipt for treating twenty 
or more patients at one time. 

I never hav, and never shal patent any apparatus or sistem 
for aiding humanity. Any method that I hav found to be 
of benefit to humanity, I am willing to teach to others. 

Results, Not Theories, Count 

The time has cum when the public is posted regarding 
"drugs" and "drugless" treatments. They ar awake to the 
fact that most drugs caus a diseasd condition and thus mask 
the real trubl. The public is being made aware of the fact 
that the majority of all "serums" and "vaccins" ar snakes in 
the gras and ultimately make them worse. 

Fisical and practically drugless methods of treatment ar 
calld for, and the public wil hav what it wants. 

Physicians do not cure. All any physician can ever do is 
to assist Nature to cure. 

We must aid patients so as to allow Nature to aid them. 

I never advize a surgical operation unless it be for con- 
structiv reasons and after every means has been taken to 
alleviate the condition by some known modality. 

eleven 



Some observers say that nine out of ten operations ar need- 
less and could hav been avoided if the physician understood 
diagnosis and fisical methods — had known how to help Nature 
do the curing. 

My work, briefly stated, is to assist physicians to assist 
their patients, and to assist patients to assist themselvs — all 
in a natural way. 

A good deal has been said by varius riters regarding my 
original methods of diagnosing tuberculosis, cancer, sifilis, 
gonorrea, and other grave as wel as more simpl conditions. 

Many physicians and others hav askt me how I ever hit 
upon such a unique method of diagnosing toxemias before 
any other known method can do it. All this is fully explaind 
and illustrated in the Seventeenth Edition of The Natural 
Way or My Work. 

Erly Diagnosis 

The fact that my Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diag- 
nosis enabls physicians to asertain what the trubl is before 
any other known method, enabls the patient to be cured rather 
than to be waiting for developments, which might prove fatal. 

The plan of watching for simptoms to develop belongs to 
the dark ages. To diagnose a case at the autopsy is not at 
all interesting to the patient. 

Private Instruction 

When my time wil permit, I can arrange to giv private 
instruction to those interested in aiding humanity. I cannot 
travel to giv lecture courses as I did formerly. Therefore I 
hav to arrange my time for teaching physicians at my place. 

My classes ar limited to ten persons, and each must hav 
thoroly studied from some of my books the fisics and under- 
lying principl of my Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diag- 
nosis and treatment. 

Each "course" occupies ten hours and is divided into three, 
four or five evenings. 

The price of my regular course is $100.00. I giv individual 
instruction in my different lines of work and many different 
subjects that tend to aid humanity helpers. 

twelv 



Referd Patients 

Physicians who refer patients to me for diagnosis wil reciev 
a ritten report of my findings and when my advice is askt, I 
wil gladly outline the method I would pursue in treating each 
individual case. 

If the physician desires, and the patient wishes, I wil treat 
the referd patient. 

I like to hav the referring physician see just how I treat 
and lern my methods as they ar natural methods and cannot 
injure the patient. 

Resident Patients 

Some patients wish to liv in my establishment while being 
treated, and for such I hav accommodations.

The obligation of duty. 

The wisdom of economy. 

The virtue of patience. 

The importance of talent.

blood poison that closes the door to helth, welth, happiness,

Fear is the diseas-giving serum that nearly all so-calld 
"helth" boards try to inject into the public mind. 

Any helth board that acts as a fear monger should be forever

A PECULIAR NATURAL FENOMENON 

Near Englewood, South Dakota, is one of the strangest 
fenomena in the world. It is a natural ice cave. This cave 
was dug by a prospector in serch of gold about twenty years 
ago. He soon abandond the drift becaus there was not enuf 
gold to pay for the undertaking. 

This drift runs back into the mountain between 75 and 100 
feet. It is six or seven feet wide and in winter is six feet 
high. 

During the hottest summer months this drift is fild with 
clear, solid ice, the ice being from one to three feet in thick- 
ness, so that a man has to crawl on his hands and nees to 
get into the cave. 

Hanging from the roof ar beautiful icicls as clear as cristal, 
which ar as long and thick as a man's arm. It is supposed 
that these began to form soon after the abandonment of the 
drift. 

twenty 



The caus of this ice formation can be chemically explaind. 
There seems to be some chemical action from the warm, outer 
air cumming in contact with minerals or chemicals in the drift, 
which freezes the water ever present in such drifts. The hot- 
ter the air is outside, the colder it is inside of this cave or 
drift. 

The farmers and other residents in the immediate vicinity 
get their ice from this cave. 

When the thermometer registers as high as 90° F. outside 
of the cave, one cannot sit within ten feet of the opening of 
the cave without suffering from the intense cold. 

Strange tho it may seem, it is a fact that during the winter 
the ice disappears and green gras grows all around the opening, 
the gras remaining until warm wether cums on when it dies 
and the ice takes its place.

No one understands much about the mind. It is as misterious 
as Nature in many ways. I once herd a lady who was feverish 
and "out of her hed" repeating strange passages and sounds. 
I calld the matter to the attention of some one in the adjoining 
"flat." He at once recognized the "talk" as verses in a foren 
language that he had lernd by hard work to repeat in a play. 
The delirius lady knew nothing of the language, but had herd 
the sounds thru a wall while she was at work. She did not 
remember repeating them while she was il. How did the mind 
record the words ? I once had a similar experience. I herd a 
long discourse, but thot nothing more about it. Suddenly the 
whole discourse came to my mind verbatim and I dictated it to 
a stenografer. It was red to the one who first spoke it and 
was said by him to be "word for word correct." Music wil 
,be taken up often by the "unconscious mind" and repeated 
years afterward. How littl we kno about ourselvs! Often 
while we ar saying "it can't be done," it is being done by 
many.

Defile your hart, your own pure soul, 

And bid your conscience go to sleep 

By lending to the unclean thot 

The credence of your nobl name ? 

"They say—" 

Wel, why not let them say? 

If this is their desire and wil. 

Why lend yourself to thots unclean. 

To words that cannot be recalld. 

To conduct that may caus regret, 

When Truth has made the error fly 

And left yu with the blot and stain? 

"They say—" 

Why, yes, and hope it's true. 
Say even worse than they told yu.

Whate'er would sting and stain and stun

Curing by The Natural Way is as old as life itself. All an- ; 
imals instinctivly kno how to reliev their own pain and many \ 
know how to reliev that of their yung. Some "four-legged 
animals" wil help their yung home when injured and wil j 
cover the injured parts with mud, grass, dirt, or whatever 
is in their "line" of cure. Many animals ar "specialists" in - 
their line of cure, or line of relieving pain. A big book could \ 
be ritten and be very interesting to sho how man is one of i 
the last of animals to be NATURAL in the manner of cure. \ 

Non-thinking peopl, or ignorant peopl, (many of them edu- ! 
cated in modern colleges) often say that "Nature Cure" is a | 
"new fad." Pity their ignorance! NATURE curing by hu- ; 
mans, even, is so old that no history records when it began. ; 
Like life itself, perhaps "it did not begin, but just was." i 

Hippocrates, the so-calld "Father of Medicin," (a very rong ; 
notion, unless it mean "father of modern medicin) said "Na- 
ture, not the physician, cures." Like many, other varieties ' 
of "children" "the children of the 'Father of' Medicin' " hav I 
gon far astray from their parental teaching. j 

NATURE, herself, gave birth to the DESIRE for The \ 
Natural Way in healing. Nature always looks out for Her | 
children. She would not let them loose on any planet without ; 
giving them "instinct" as to what to do in case of accident. . 
Some animals ar endowd with an 'instinct" that is so much \ 
more reliabl than "modern sience" that there is no compari- -. 
son. The trubl with "modem sience" is that it is the out- ; 
growth of an abnormal, or UNnatural, state of mind. It really 
is flfzVease. Nature has been ignored. 

To be "sientific" and not folio Nature is as impossibl as \ 
"swimming on dry land." When "lemed" folks get back i 
to Nature's ways of Thinking and folio HER, they wil see the ^ 
nebula clear away like snow on a .warm day. \ 

The doings of things microscopical in size is the same as ■ 
the doings of things which we can see with our naked eyes. \ 
Just becaus our eyes ar not made to see the animals that \ 
swarm on the point of a needl, or that can go by millions side \ 
by side thru the eye of the smallest needl, is no sign that their \ 
habits ar any different than those of animals as large as an , 
elefant. I 

NATURE works deeply and Her laws ar the same for all \ 
— big or small, microscopic or macroscopic. J

When "modem sience/' so far as "sience in medicin*' and

Some of the worst cases of constipation, obstipation, and 
piles hav been cured, or reUevd, by teaching the sufferer that 
the "toilet" is a place to "toil" along certain lines of force — 
not a reading room. It is very few who can do two things 
at a time and do them wel. A yung, would-be author once 
submitted his mss. to me for "review." It was all ritten on 
toilet paper. I askt him if he were short of paper, or why he 
took such a peculiar material to rite on. He said he rote the 
book while "at stool." I askt him if his bowels wer in good 
condition and he replied that they wer "excellent." I handed 
him back his mss. and told him to consecrate the mss. to the 
same place the paper was intended to go, for the reasons cited.

churches and was a "pius mixer." He askt me if I would 
work for his nomination. I told him NO. I told him I was 
going to work for the REAL bad chap. I said to him: "I 
happen to kno some of your private life and there ar a few 
others who kno it, too. I prefer a REAL devil — one that wil 
be watcht by ALL rather than a hippocrit whom only a few 
wil watch." Wel, the hippocrit was elected by "church peopl" 
and my frends put me down as a "tender-foot" for being 
"led" to work for the REAL bad chap. I had to wait seven 
years to hav my motiv understood and I had to work seven

tearing thru the streets. A "brave offiser" shot the dog and 
the bitten dogs wer also kild. One boy was bitten on the hand

to examin it. I found a sharp tack imbedded in his rump just 
under the tail. Some one had placed the tack there and the 
more the dog prest his tail down, as they naturally do, the 
more the tack was driven into the flesh. Is it any wonder

as to whether the "gonorrea lice" can be taken off utensils in 
a manner similar to the "sifilis lice" is a mooted question. 
Personally I think if a person be in a "receptiv condition" the 
"gonorrea lice" can contaminate a person as much as the 
"sifilis lice.'' 

Fleas ar "catching" without contact becaus they hav life

I wonder when the American peopl wil wake up to the 
fact that FORCE in education brings about a reaction and 
that they ar planting the seeds for another war — a civil war — 
by thinking, talking and riting FORCE. Thots cannot be

emd by .FORCE. Thots can be cultivated and gided by EDU- 
CATION. EDUCATION along NATURAL ways wil create

I hav lookt inside many "free clinics." I hav had an oppor-

ar both too often run by those with no human hart. The 
worst, and the basest work that I can conceiv of, I hav seen 
done in "free clinics." Those who run a "free clinic" should 
be educated along lines of humanitarianism rather than along 
lines of "animal experimentation." The temptation to experi-

who conduct such clinics. 

Recently I red a big advertizement in the largest medical

THE NATURAL WAY IS ALWAYS THE REAL WAY. 

Many years ago I had quite a reputation as a "balky-horse 
starter" and as such was often consulted. To illustrate how 
The Natural Way aplies in such cases, I wil cite a case as a 
"side light." 

One morning while driving out in the cuntry, I met a 
farmer with his horse and wagon hedded toward town. The 
horse — a wide-between-the-ears, dark bay — evidently objected 
to something, for he was standing stil and, altho the owner 
was beating him severely, he refused to budge. 

I stopt my horse and askt what the matter was. The owner 

said the d brute would not go, and hit the "brute" over 

the hed with the butt of his big whip. I askt him to let me 
make the horse go. The man got in the wagon and I began 



fifty-five 



to pet the horse and rub his neck, and then started to sing, 
"Home, Sweet Home." It workt like a charm, and the horse 
started off with a vim. The man shouted, "If ye hadn't hit 
on that piece, he wouldn't hav moved." 

By a strange coincidence, I met this same man and horse 
in the village that evening. They wer both in front of a sa- 
loon (the old-fashiond kind). A big crowd had gatherd around 
the horse, wagon and man. The man had evidently imbibed 
some "legal intoxicant." The horse's tail was toward his 
home, and the man was trying to sing, "Home, Sweet Home" 
to the delite and amusement of the crowd. I stood by to see 
the performance for a few moments when I herd the "solo- 
ist" say, "Yung Doc White started the d brute that way 

this morning and it o' to work now." Just then someone 
pointed me out to the "jovial singer." He got hold of my 
arm and askt me what tune he should sing to make the ani- 
mal start. I went up to the horse, patted him on the neck, 
took an appl out of my pocket and gave it to him to eat, and 
then turnd his hed toward home and said, "Cum on, Dandy." 
He went off so fast that the crowd had to "step lively" to 
avoid a collision.

One morning, a month before Thanksgiving Day, about 
four o'clock I was calld up on the 'fone and askt to see a 
gentleman about seventy-eight years old. When I reacht the 
house, I saw the man up, and his wife was waiting for me 
on the porch. She said, "Doctor, my man is alright. It is my 
turky that is ailing, but I was afraid yu wouldn't cum out to 
see it if I had explaind over the 'fone." It seemd so ludicrus 
that I could not keep back a good laf. The motherly lady, 
wel past seventy, said she knew I was educated in the woods 
and thot I would kno how to treat turkys as wel as "folks." 
She said she got this big gobbler to feed up for Thanksgiving, 
and he was "getting off his feed." I found the bird in a room 
in their garage. Plenty of feed was on the floor, but the 
turky had been confined and overfed and had "taken cold." 
He was in the last stages of roup or "avian diftheria" — often 
calld "sweld hed." I told the lady that decapitation was the 
only remedy. She paid me more than the value of the turky 
but said she was satisfied to kno what to do. Even turkys 
cannot stand confinement and stuffing any more than humans.

It is now January, 1920, and the foUoing is copied from a 
Board of Helth bulletin just maild me by one of my pupils. 
The same advice was given in 1918 and 1919 and the per- 
centage lost in deths from such a diet was from seven to 
forty. What we as physicians want to kno is WHY such di- 
rections ar sent out, when undertakers ar really the only ones 
who profit by it. The patients die, that is a los to the com- 
munity, to say nothing of the family. The physician is a loser, 
for a ded patient is not a profitabl one. The community at 
large is disgusted with the medical profession becaus of the 
great percentage of deths folloing their "regular" treatment. 
Drugless physicians ar getting the work and the patients ar 
getting wel — their los is les than one-tenth of one per cent. 
Again I ask: What is back of a sistem that kils rather than 
makes wel? If any one with a "Flu Fever" can get wel under 
this diet, he wil liv thru anything and he never needs a physi- 
cian. 

Copied from a Board of Helth notis sent out to physicians 
to be circulated: 

"Food. Get three good meals a day. If the family cannot 
provide them safely, go to a nearby restaurant, get your frends 
to serv them and send them in; notify the Red Cross that yio 
hav nothing to eat. A raw eg broken into a pint of milk, 
eaten with crackers from a box, is sustaining if not esthetic. 
Do not attempt to go without food." 

Now, Fello Physicians, I am often askt why the "new 
methods" and the "drugless physicians" ar sweeping all be- 
fore them and why the public is becumming so disgusted with 
the Board-of-Helth methods thruout the land. The reply is in 
the above quotation. Every thinking individual knows that 
those directions wil kil any one with a fever. If we expect 
to hold the least vestige of respect from the community, we 
must banish such moth-eaten methods or go into some other 
line of work. The peopl wil not stand for it even if the 
undertakers wil. The peopl ar the ones who pay the bils and 
ar the ones to whom we hav to look for our living. Let us 
see who is to blame for such outrageous directions being sent 
out. Let us see if they ar gotten up by our enemies, or by 
undertakers, or by whom. It is time that WE as physicians 
look into this matter and do not wait for our own funerals.

To "kil the goose that lays the golden egs" is as poor policy

Do I believ in "germs?" Of course I do. Wer it not for 
"germs" there v^ould be no life. Germs ar our necessary 
frends. They stay by us, even if cranks tel us they ar ene- 
mies. All germs would be frendly if we would let them be so, 
but like the "mad" dog, we abuse them and torment them 
until they turn on us and "bite." Only for germs yu and I 
would not be here now. No one would be here wer it not for 
germs. Nothing would be here wer it not for germs. A fello 
with some spare time has calculated that in one small part of 
our anataomy — it matters not much which part it is if we ar 
sane — -there ar 150,000 times as many germs as there ar hu- 
mans on the whole erth. I hav not checkt him up, but take 
it for granted that it is true. There ar about as many "germ 
theories" as there ar germs any way, and stil the tail tries to 
wag the dog. We all go on just the same and some unfortu- 
nates ar scared to deth becaus of their germs. Others get 
rich trying to scare the peopl. Stil others get rich caring for 
the ded who die to get rid of their germs. That is foolish, for 
the germs turn "profiteers" just as soon as their host "passes 
over." Would it not be lovely if all the pubHc pres would 
boycot every articl turnd in, that talkt about unf rendly germs ? 
Who first put germs in the scare lines of a newspaper? Look 
this up and "think it over."

Every publication, be it great or small, that has caterd to

the news that the once "Great New York Herald" has changed 
hands. That means more than the "change of hands." It 
means that that once GREAT paper achievd greatness by 
being rebellious to the plutocracy. Since the deth of its fight-

"has changed hands." Why cannot EVERY organization,

Some persons seem to think that "church-going" is the ba-

created the Great Out-of-Doors before She gave birth to the 
human body. If the body be rong, the spirit is sure to be

to disregard God. The body and the spirit MUST work hand

the Christian era, Cicero, the Roman author said: "Nothing 
is more delightful than the light of the truth." This shows 
that two thousand years hav not changed real thinkers very 
much in the fundamentals. Fundamentals ar natural. Na-

to improve on Nature and raise up false gods. In Nature's

of religion is to endow man with a sense of unity with all

Some day humans wil lern that criminals ar not cured by

There is good in every so-calld criminal. Yu and I might 
hav been just as bad as the worst of criminals had we been 
born with the bodily defects that ALL criminals hav. The 
only way to cure criminals is to cure the body. That often 
cannot be done, but if a gun burst in shooting it off, the maker 
looks out to make the next one better. In like manner hu- 
mans must lern that criminals ar born that way. To prevent 
persons being born criminals we must begin with the parents 
and then with the conditions in which the child is reard. I 
hav never yet seen a criminal who did not sho some bodily 
defect. The body must be such that the spirit can work har- 
moniously in it. All ar not made criminals by reading bad 
novels nor by seeing bad moving pictures, but one with a 
weak mind can easily be made a desperate criminal by just 
those conditions. A weak minded person, or a person with 
a body that does' not harmonize with his spirit, sees the rich 
man made richer by wholesale stealing in political plunder 
and he cannot see why it is not as right for him to do the same. 
He is caut at it and sent to prison, while the "higher-up" 
goes on with his plundering. Othc: see this and revenge

"Several years before national prohibition became effectiv, 
it was decided to drop all alcoholic liquors from the American 
Pharmacopea. No mention of whisky, brandy or other alco- 
holic liquors wil appear in the 1920 issue." — Harvey W. Wiley, 
M. D., Pres. U. S. P. Convention and former Chief of the 
Bureau of Chemistry, Dept. of Agriculture, U. S. A. 

Under date of January 30, 1920, it is reported that a U. S. 
Marshal at Detroit, Mich., was authorized in a telegram from 
Washington, D. C, to furnish free of charge to all "reputabl 
physicians" whisky to be used in the "treatment of the flu." 
What reputabl physician would think of treating flu with 
whisky? 

Doctor Wiley further says "Whisky, insted of being an 
effectiv remedy or preventiv for flu, is positivly a poison. In 
only one instance would I use whisky for a case of flu and 

sixty-seven 



that would be where I wisht to hasten the departure to heven 
of the patient." 

Now, taking the facts as above quoted into consideration, 
can it be considerd as strange that some thinking peopl ar of 
the opinion that undertakers ar the ones who ar asking the 
doctors to use whisky as a remedy in flu? 



Marcus Aurelius, in the second century, said that "Man

our feet and allows us to see ourselvs as others see us. Never 
fear Deth. He is your surest frend. Only for Deth we could

WHAT OF THE DAY? 

When the sun sets lo in the western sky, 

And the lengthening shades fall ; 
When the world is slowly sinking to rest, 

And silence is over all — 
Let us think of the day that is ebbing away, 

And how we hav spent all its hours. 
Hav we walkt in the paths of duty. 

Or sought those strewn with flowers? 

Hav we cheerd a hart that was bowed with care, 

And longing for kindness and love; 
Or did we forget the cheer-bringing word, 

To lift and to point it above? 
"In His name" did we offer the cool, brimming cup 

To the stranger we met to-day? 
Or wer we too busy to notis his need 

As we past him there in the way? 

Did we smile and sing 'mid the toil and the strife, 

Did we do what He*d hav us to do ; 
Or allow the world and its selfishness 

To overcum the good and true? 
Did we utter an angry, a hasty word. 

Which pierst like a cruel dart, 
Which, cutting and keen as the sharpest sword. 

Has wounded some brother's hart? 

If the deepening shades of the twilight hours 

To our hart bring joy and rest 
That is won by smoothing another's path. 

Then we indeed ar blest. 
But if a sorro or care we'v brot 

To someone whose path we crost. 
Or thotlessly wasted the hours on self, 

Then count that day as lost.

The God of Longevity 

One of the very erliest developments in medical history 
was the cult among the Chinese of the "God of Longevity" 
whose picture is given here. He was said to inspire his devo- 
tees with suggestions as to the mode of life which would 
make them liv long. His statues ar noted for their bright 
smile and for the generally complacent appearance of the 
divinity, as if it wer a primary doctrin of his cult that the 
most important thing in the world for long life was to take 
everything smilingly and forget about the hard things of exist- 
ence. 

Thus we see that the mottos such as, Keep Smiling, Smile 
and Liv Long, Smile and Make Others Smile, Be Happy, etc. 
ar simply mottos of thousands of years ago reborn.

The Egyptians evidently developt medical sience and prac-

In one of their ritings they mention the fact that specialists 
might be abl to heal certain parts of the body, but wer igno- 
rant of the body as a whole. 

The first physician of whom we hav any definit historical 
record was I-em-Hetep who livd in the reign of Tosher of 
the Third Dynasty of Egypt, probably 4,000 B. C. 

So much admiration did the Egyptians hav for him that 
they bilt a step-pramid at Sokkara in his honor. This was one 
of the very erliest of the pyramids, and it shows in what honor 
and reverence they held this Egyptian Aesculapius. 

The sketch here given shows an ancient statue of I-em-

Old Greek Physicians Wer Thinkers 

It is a noteworthy fact that the Romans depended upon 
Greek physicians for their medical care. 

Alexander of Tralles in the book entitld, ''Old Time Makers 
of Medicine," is (Quoted as saying that a physician should be 
an inventor and think out new ways and means by which the 
cure of the patient's affection and the relief of his simptoms 
may be brot about. 

Thus it can be seen that the same tendency that is warp- 
ing the medical profession today had to be contended with 
ages ago, namely, the folloing of a rut whether it led any- 
where or not. 

Independent thinkers in the healing art hav always been 
in demand and always wil he. 

* * * 
The First Medical Scool 
a Progressiv Naturopathic Institution 

The first medical scool was at Salerno in Southern Italy, 
and came into existence in the tenth century, and was under 
the influence of Greek physicians. 

This institution was famus as a naturopathic institution and 
taut that the principal remedies for all ils of mankind wer 
diet, water, exercize, fresh air, sunshine, and a happy dis- 
position. 

I believ this same medical scool was the first to use anes- 
thesia. It is recorded that they used a combination of man- 
dragora, opium, wild lettis, and hyoscyamus in tincture form, 
soakt it up in a new sponge, dried it in a sponge, then dipt 
it in warm water and had the patient inhale the steam. 

Theodoric, one of the old riters on medical subjects I believ 
was educated at Salerno. He mentions the fact that some of 
the very best surgeons obtaind "healing by first intention** 
and he mentions "dry dressings/' Strong wine was aplied on 
linen cloths and as the wine evaporated, the dressing was 
spoken of as a ''dry dressing." 

Altho most surgeons of that time and for centuries hav 
declared that it was impossibl to avoid pus formation, yet 
this riter said that his father, who was a surgeon, had proved 
that pus formation folloing a surgical operation was not neces- 
sary.

Mercury an Ancient Cure 

Italian surgeons wer probably the first to use mercury for 
the treatment of sifilis in the latter part of the thirteenth 
century. 

Some of the most beautiful hospitals ever bilt wer erected 
during the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries. 

French surgeons developt the mercury inunction method 
for the treatment of sifilis in the fourteenth and fifteenth 
centuries. Becaus the French surgeons devoted so much time 
to the study of sifilis and rote so much about it, it was calld 
"Morbus Gallicus — the French diseas. 

The man who first used the word, sifilis, was Fracastorius, 
whose Italian name was Girolamo Fracastoro. He used it in 
a poem entitld, "Sifilis Sive Morbus Gallicus," which was 
publisht at Venice in 1530. He recognized the fact that sifilis 
was a venereal diseas, and was of the opinion that some form 
of micro-organism was the caus of infectious diseases. 

Like many other famus investigators, Fracastorius was not 
abl to recognize the fact that the micro-organisms that ar 
found with so many varius diseases ar never found until after 
the diseas is wel advanst. 



Bombastic Bombastus a Reformer 

The word, bombast, was taken from the middl name of a 
Swiss physician whose name was Paracellsiis Bombastus ab 
Hohenheim. He "stormd" his knoledge upon the peopl, and 
opposed almost everyone else's knoledge. He was the first to 
giv medical lectures in common language, and publicly burnd 
the works of Galen and Avicenna, and insisted that physicians 
must think for themselvs. He upbraided witchcraft and the 
itinerant quack, altho he himself believd in the influence of 
spirits, etc. 

No dout Paracellsus was sincere and correct in denouncing 
the great prevailing error among sientists — letting someone 
think for them rather than being original. Probably the reason 
for his being so "bombastic" was becaus of his disgust for the 
meaningless words and expressions used by so many physi- 
cians of his time. He evidently belongd to thinkers like the 
physician Ambroise Pare who believd in using the vernacular 
rather than the stilted, classical expressions when speaking 
of the body and its ils. This of course was disliked by the 

one hundred two 



College of Surgeons of Paris. Big words do not mean big 
ideas and ar often used to cover up littl minds. 



Ambroise Pare, the self-made "barber-surgeon," thinlcer 
and innovator, who died in 1590, was the physician who made 
the famus expression, "I treated him, God cured him." 

* * * 

The Old and the ''New" 

In the middl ages of the Renaissance, bleeding, cupping, 
leeching, purging, etc. wer in vogue, their idea being that all 
diseas was causd by the presence of poison in the body and 
the poison must be removed. At the present time the notion 
is that the poisons in the body must be kild by some anti- 
toxin and that wil make the body wel. I believ one idea is 
just as bad as the other. The toxins in the body cannot be 
drawn out thru the blood. Neither can they be kild in the 
body without doing the body as much harm as tho the patient 
wer bled. I believ that the time is cumming when all such 
practises wil be ignored and The Natural Way wil hav its 
sway. 

To remove toxins from the body do not put other toxins 
in. Let the body rest and Nature wil do the curing. 

The idea that auto-intoxication — self-poisoning — can be 
cured by drastic mesures is all rong. Some ar even suggesting 
that the whole large intestin be removed to cure all diseas. 
One might just as wel say that the way to keep a sewer clean 
is to cut it out rather than keeping filth out of it. 

History repeats itself. Before the deth of any long-cherisht 
notion in sience, including medicin, there is a great struggl 
to compel peopl to believ it. Thus we see political medicin 
thruout the world trying to be forst upon the public becaus 
its fundamental principls ar rong, and the deth-struggl is a 
hard one, but wil eventually be won.

Chemical Analisis of a Man 

A man weighing 150 pounds aproximately contains 3,500 
cubic feet of gas, oxigen, hydrogen and nitrogen in his con- 
stitution, which at 80c a thousand cubic feet, would be worth 
$2.80 for illuminating purposes. 

He also contains all the necessary fats to make a 15 lb. 
candl, and thus with his 3,500 cu. ft. of gases, he possesses 
great illuminating possibilities. 

His sistem contains 22 lbs. 10 ozs. of carbon, or enuf to 
make 780 dozen or 9,360 led pencils. 

There ar about 50 grains of iron in his blood, and the rest 
of his body would suply enuf to make one spike large enuf

poison would make 800,000 matches or enuf poison to kil 500

brains. 

No matter how sour a man looks, he contains about 60 
lumps of sugar of the ordinary cubical dimensions, and to 
make the seasoning complete there ar added 20 spoonsful of 
salt. 

If a man wer distild into water, he would make about 38 
quarts, or more than half his weight. He also contains a great 
deal of starch, clorid of potash, magnesium, sulfur, and hydro- 
cloric acid in his sistem.

Publicity 

The meat packers' publicity drives employ sindicate riters 
to "educate" the public to the point of thinking that "meat 
is good for them." 

The sugar refiners' sindicate riters say sugar is good for 
everyone, and wil even cure tuberculosis. 

The beer brewers' and distillers' sindicate riters ar trying 
to sho that all crime is causd by lack of good alcoholic bever- 
ages, and that all would be wel if peopl "took a nip" daily. 

The yeast makers ar employing the highest-paid riters to 
convince the public that they only need their yeast as a food

The manufacturers of all sorts of "witches' brew" keep 
sindicate riters busy sending wel-ritten articls for all publica- 
tions to educate the public in the belief that their special brew 
will cure or prevent diseas. 

So it goes. The "dear public" is made the "goat" of the 
publicity men employd at high salaries to camouflage them, 
and the editors of the popular magazines and publications 
"fall for it" becaus of the apathy of the public in demanding 
honesty. 

Once the public wakes up to fact that "sindicate riters" ar 
a menace to them becaus of the commercialism back of their 
work, they wil refuse to patronize such publications. We ar 
all sitting on the apex of a volcano now, and there is no telling

tain direction when making certain sounds. This seems to sho

Sanitary Engineers as Helth Offisers 

I am often askt why I am constantly talking and riting to 
the effect that sanitary engineers should hav charge of our 
Public Helth Departments. That my readers may kno just 
why I think physicians should not hold any of these offises in 
the Helth Department, I wil giv my reasons. These same 
reasons hav been voist by some of our very best known 
educators and physicians. 

We must remember that physicians ar human the same as 
other peopl, and they ar just as liabl to go bad in public 
offises as those who make a profession of politics. When a 
physician becums a Helth Offiser, he is no longer free, but he 
is then a physician-politician and as such should not be 
counted on any more as being a physician in the true sense 
of the term. 

Why Physicians Should Not Be Helth Offisers 
Becaus : 

1. It is obviusly contrary to public policy, since medical 
revenues cum from diseas and not from helth. 

2. Scools of medical practis ar many and varius, and it is 
neither democratic nor fair to permit one scool to control the 
practis of other scools. 

3. The care of the person is purely a private affair and 

one hundred eleven 



does not properly cum within the purview of "the public 
helth." 

5. The relation between physician and patient, being a 
personal and private one, the individual is entitled to his 
choice of advizor. 

5. The doctor cannot forget that he is a doctor and when 
he becums helth offiser, he procedes to "doctor" the whole 
community. 

6. The function of helth offiser is strictly a sanitary one, 
having relation to drainage, to sewerage and garbage dis- 
posal, to water suply, to the ventilation and plumbing of 
bildings — in a word, to making the environment clean and 
wholesome. 

These tasks ar no more akin to the practis of medicin and 
surgery than they ar to chiropody or the barber's trade. 

7. The doctor as helth offiser is at best an amateur and a 
theoretical sanitarian. His views ar colord by his medical 
training, which causes him to neglect genuin sanitation, doc- 
toring the polluted water suply with chemicals and then 
turning to meddl with the persons of private citizens, invad- 
ing homes, control the public scools, interfere between private 
practitioner and patient, and force medical treatment on the 
sick and the wel. 

8. The helth offiser keeps the record of deth and has in 
his power, if he is a doctor, to protect his medical brethren 
from blame or any given practis of his sect from condem- 
nation. 

9. In this manner deths from malpractis regularly ar con- 
ceald. Deths from surgical operations ar put down to 
appendicitis or whatever diseas was operated for. Deths from 
antitoxins ar put down to diftheria. Deths from vaccination 
ar almost invariably conceald under the titl of tetanus, menin- 
gitis, septicemia, or whatever form the blood poisoning takes 
in given cases. This deception keeps the public in the dark 
and therefore raises the deth rate. 

10. A doctor in the position of helth offiser is a state-paid 
agent and lobbyist for his fraternity, when the state has no 
more right to discriminate between medical sistems than it 
has to sho partiaUty in religions. 

Now, Fello Physicians, can yu blame me for the stand I 
take in the matter of public helth? I am sure if yu knew 

one hundred twelv 



the facts as I kno them yu would be just as much in favor 
of sanitary engineers for helth offisers as I am. 

The practis of medicin should be kept out of politics just 
as much as religion should be kept out of politics. It lowers 
the clergy to crowd their beliefs into public institutions, and 
it lowers the physician to do the same. 

We can all work for such political principls as we think 
best, but we should not seek to hold offises if we wish to 
keep our profession above reproach in the eyes of the com- 
munity, neither should we endevor to force our ideas upon 
the public. |

What Roosevelt Said. 

Medical men wil persist in uttering deliberate falsehoods 
as to what swept smallpox from the Panama Canal Zone. 

Here is what the late Ex-President Roosevelt rote : 

"Five years ago the Isthmus of Panama was a byword for 
ur)helthiness of the most dedly kind. At present the Canal 
Zone is one of the helthiest places on the globe." The editor 
•of 'Life' asks : "How did this happen ? By the use of serums ? 
By inoculating the nativs with all sorts of unknown things? 
By operating on them? By dosing them with medicins? We 
ges not. They made the Canal Zone clean. They swept it up, 
gave it a bath and produced a natural, helthy environment." 

This is precisely what has happend in the case of smallpox, 
only the medical profession would hav us believ it is due to 
vaccination. — Sanitary Journal, January, ip20.

It is officially estimated that the total World-War financial 
loss, excluding Russia, was $150,000,000,000. 

The estimated losses of Germany ar $45,000,000,000., 
France, $31.000,000,000., Great, Britain, $26,000,000,000., 
Italy, $10,500,000,000. Germany has lost one half of her 
national welth since 1914. The national welth of the United 
States has increast 30 per cent, since 1914, and is estimated 
by English financiers at $400,000,000,000. Japan has dubld 
her national welth since 1914. Again I say that SELFISH- 
NESS is the cause of all wars.

About two months ago a yung man came to me for a 
diagnosis. I diagnosed his trubl as "cigaret or nicotin intox- 
ication." He askt me if I wer SURE of my findings. I 
assured him that my B-D-C test was as true as life itself. 
He then told me the foUoing story, which is very illumin- 
ating and is in accord with scores of similar reports that hav 
been brot to me first hand. 

' At the beginning of the World War he said he enlisted, 
but was refused by the military examiner becaus he "found" 
that he had T. B. in a very bad form. He then tried to get 

one hundred fourteen 



into the navy. There he was examind and "found" to hav 
a very bad hart, but no T. B. and so refused. Later he "went 
up against" a special board of medical examiners and they 
pronounst him "sound" with the exception of "flat foot." 

The last "finding" made him so angry that he hiked across 
the continent and engaged in business out on this coast. 

Wei, here is the "last findings," for he is entirely wel in 
EVERY respect. He gave up smoking, livd on natural food 
for the past two months and today I hav examind him and 
pronounst him WEL. He said he KNEW he was by his 
feelings. I knew he was by my findings.

Diftheria and Its Cure Without Antitoxin 

Inasmuch as the folloing sent out by the American 
Anti-Vivisection Society is so in accord with my personal 
knoledge, I quote it for the benefit of my readers. It matters 
not, Fello Physicians, whether yu believ in them, facts ar 
what count, and we should all be seekers after the truth and 
not trailers — being led by others. 

It is much easier to folio in a beaten path than it is to make

that the most wary ar taken unawares.

Before making the quotation, I might cite one case out of 
hundreds that hav cum to my attention in the past few years. 
Only last Spring a lady calld me on the fone, wanting to kno 
if I could go to see her Httl dauter who was suffering from 
sore throat. I told her that I did not go out, but from the 
simptoms she gave me I advized her to giv the child a dose 
of castor oil and put her to bed and giv her a tablspoonful of 
pineappl juice every hour. 

The next morning the mother reported that the littl girl 
was so much better that she was up and playing about the 
house. That same day a doctor went to the apartment house 
to see some other family and the mother of this child "to be 
on the safe side" calld the doctor in to see the littl girl. He 
told her that inasmuch as the child had had a sore throat he 
would advize a few doses of antitoxin so if there should happen 
to be diftheria in her sistem the antitoxin would prevent its 
developing. Not knowing anything about the dangers of 
antitoxin, the mother consented, and this licenst M. D. gave 
the child an injection of antitoxin, and another the folloing 
morning, and another the folloing evening, making three in 
all. The child began to gro worse within a few hours- after 
the first injection of antitoxin, and twelv hours after the third 
injection the child was a corpse. That is what I would call 
murder, but the laws at the present time ar such that these 
regularly licenst men can get away with it and not be prose- 
cuted. It may be this doctor was perfectly honest in his 
belief that antitoxin should be given, but that does not make 
him any les a murderer. Pointing a pistol at a person and 
pulling the trigger, thinking the pistol is not loaded, does not 
clear the user of the pistol of the charge of murder, if they 
happen to kil the person. 

Not a week passes without my examining children whose 
harts hav been ruind by antitoxin medication. It is time that 
someone lookt into the matter from a broad standpoint and 
cast aside superstition, and commercialism, seeking truth 
for truth's sake and for the sake of humanity.

"There ar three scools of medicin in the United States, 
and it is wel the public should k6o how the doctors of these 
three scools stand upon the treatment of Diftheria without 
antitoxins or serums. 

one hundred seventeen 



"These three scools of medicin ar known as Allopathy, 
Homeopathy and Eclectics. The physicians of the Allopathic 
scool believ in and advocate the use of serums and anti- 
toxins for the cure of nearly all diseases ; while the Homeo- 
pathic and the Eclectic scools hav more faith in medicin 
than in serums or antitoxins. 

"W. W. Yeneer, M. D., of Richmond, Indiana, of the 
Eclectic scool, says in a letter which appears in the June 
number of 1920, of the Ellingwood's Therapeutist, publisht 
in Chicago: 'In the past ten months this locality has had an 
epidemic of Diftheria, and during this time I hav treated 
some seventy-five cases with the Dubl Sulfide Compound. 
By this treatment I hav had one hundred per cent, recovery, 
and no complications as you often find with antitoxin. I think 
the Dubl Sulfide Compounds ar far superior to the antitoxins 
for Diftheria. In the past five years I hav used the above 
method and I hav had no occasion to use antitoxin. In all 
my cases the ^i^g^osis has been affirmd by the Indiana 
State Board Department of Bacteriology.' 

"The Homeopathic physicians hav about the same experience 
in the treatment of Diftheria without antitoxin. M. V. Hall, 
M. D., an advocate of the use of antitoxin in Diftheria, rites 
in his work on 'Bacteriology' : 'The antitoxin has no influence 
on the bacteria themselvs ; their virulence and length of 
residence in the body is not lessend. The toxin generated by 
the germ is supposed to be neutralized by the antitoxin, and 
prevented from injuring the body-tissue.' 

"W. B. Campbell, M. D., has publisht a hand-book on 
modern treatment of the Allopathic scool of medicin. This 
work is in its sixth revized edition with a copyright of 1908- 
1911-1914-1917 and 1919. The publishers say there ar thirty 
thousand copies of former editions of this work now in daily 
use by physicians thruout the English speaking world. 

"Dr. Campbell says in his book, page 136: Tf on account 
of poverty, peopl cannot afford antitoxic serum. Dr. Curtius 
uses local treatment alone and has had excellent results with 
it.' Of 28 patients treated during one summer with it alone, 
only one died. He employs Loeffler's solution. In 28 cases 
no antitoxin has been used. 

"One more proverb may be added to those of old: Tf a 
rich man's child becum sick with Diftheria, let the child be 

one hundred eighteen 



put in a poor man's home before sending for a physician 
who believs in antitoxin.' 

"The foregoing has been verified by a notary pubUc, before 
whom I hav made an affidavit. These facts ar given in the 
interest of truth and humanity, and not for fee or reward."

A Parahl of the Present 

Put one hundred men on an island where fish is a stapl 
articl of sustenance. Twenty-five of the men catch fish. 
Twenty-five others clean the fish. Twenty-five cook the fish. 
Twenty-five hunt fruit and vegetabls. The entire company 
eat what thus is gatherd and prepared. 

So long as everybody works there is plenty. All ar happy. 
Ten of the alloted fish catchers stop catching fish. Ten more 
dry and hide part of the fish they catch. Five continue to 
catch fish, but work only part of the day at it. 

Fewer fish go into the community kitchen. But the same 
number of men insist upon having the same amount of fish 
to eat as they had before. The fifty men who formerly 
cleand and cookt the fish hav les to do owing to the under- 
suply of fish. But they continue to demand food. 

Gradually greater burdens ar laid upon the fruit and 
vegetabl hunters. These insist upon a larger share of fish in 
return for their larger efforts in gathering fruit and vegetabls. 
It is denied them and soon twenty of the twenty-five quit 
gathering fruit and vegetabls. 

But the entire one hundred men continue to insist upon 
their right to eat. The daily food suply gradually shrinks. 
The man with two fish demands three bananas in exchange 
for one of them. The man with two bananas refuses to part 
with one for fewer than three fish. 

Finally the ten men remaining at work quit in disgust. 
Everybody continues to eat. The hidden fish ar brot to Hght 
and consumed. There cums a day when there is no food 
of any kind. Everybody on the island blames everybody else. 

What would seem to be the solution? Exactly. We thot 
yu would ges it. For we repeat that yu can't eat, buy, sel, 
steal, giv away, hoard, wear, use, play with, or gambl with 
WHAT ISN'T. '

Then and Now 

In the days of witchcraft (400 years since) persons wer 
condemd to fisical deth by ignorant, insane judges, and their 
bodies bumd to "protect others from harm." 

In the days of germ craft (the present) persons ar con- 

one hundred twenty 



demnd to social deth by perverted, degenerated germ hunters 
as germ carriers and their bodies raped by the "chosen'" to 
"protect others from harm." 

The serum and vaccin manufacturers, thru the federation 
of organized medicin and boards of "helth," ar sutly keeping 
sindicate riters busy furnishing wel-ritten articls for all pub- 
lications to educate the public in the belief that their "witches' 
brew" wil cure or prevent all diseases. 

The organized political society of surgeons is waging a 
pubhcity campaign to impress the pubhc with the behef that 
all "lumps" ar "cancers" and that the nife is the only "sure 
cure" for them, altho in their meetings they confess that every 
real cancer wil sooner or later return after an operation. 

When the Political Helth Department at Washington sends 
out information as to the "remedies" to use for "flu" or any- 
thing else, it means that the public should wake up and avoid 
every such remedy. The history of the 1918-19 flu panic, 
and the remedies advocated by the Political Helth Depart- 
ment should teach the pubhc a lesson for a whole generation. 
If politics would only lern from these errors to reform, it

HUMAN MAGNET 

I hav seen some persons hav energy from their fingers that 
would deflect a magnetic needl the same as a bar magnet 
would. That is, the fingers would repel one pole and attract 
another. Sometimes both hands would repel the same pole, 
and at other times one hand would repel the north pole while 
the other hand would attract it. 

These persons could pick up a piece of paper by means of 
the energy at the ends of their fingers. At other times, insted 
of picking up the paper, their fingers would repel it. 

We ar all familiar with the power of certain fish to generate 
electricity of such intensity that it wil caus suffering when a 
person cums in contact with it. No one has yet been abl to 
tel just how these fish generate this electricity, but it is prob- 
ably generated by a sudden interchange of fluids in the body. 
They apparently do it to protect themselvs. 

Whether the persons with this peculiar magnetic or electric 
faculty hav something abnormal going on in their bodies, I

fenomenon if suffering from tomain poisoning or from very

result of apparent fisiologic action in the body, while in the 
other clas it is the result of a pathological condition.

Life means involuntary action. Since it has apparently been 
proved that the ''entities" of the most "solid" rock move at a 
rate that no mortal mind can conciev, and their size in relation 
to the space between them is only to be compared with the 
universe. Who can say what is "ded" and what is not? Let 

one hundred twenty-jive 



us rest assured that the terms "life" and "deth" ar terms 

indicating relativ rates and modes of vibration, for there is no 

such condition as '*deth," as the condition is popularly 

understood.

Rithm 

If we knew what RITHM is we would understand God — 
Nature. RITHM is an inherent property in ALL Nature — 
animate or inanimate. The large vessls in all animals "beat" 
rithmically as wel as the hart, which is only a special modifica- 
tion of the blood vessls. In the bat the blood vessls pulsate 
independently of the hart, sixteen times a minit. Under the 
back skin of frogs the "limph-harts," or pulsating sacs, can be 
seen to "beat" independently of the hart. 

A certain rithm is constant between certain limits in each 
animate and inanimate thing. These rithmic limits can not be 
forst belo nor beyond those inherent limits. 

Cilia ar minute, whip-like processes of living protoplasm 
projecting from the surface of certain eels in all animals. 
There ar innumerabl numbers of these ciliated eels in the 
respiratory tract and other tracts in the- body. These cilia lash 
backward and forward rithmically all the time and carry mat- 
ter in one direction. These cilia "beat" forward and backward 
at a definit rate of about ten times to each hart beat. Their 
rate of motion is influenst by emotions and by light and heat 
as wel as by drugs or poisons. 

The relation between all the rithms inherent in a body 
varies by fours or multipls of four. For exampl, the hart pul- 
sates four times to each respiration and the cilia wave about 
eight times to each hart beat. If Nature wer thoroly under- 
stood I think she wil be found to cling to the four and multipl 
of four rithm in all forms of life. 

The fingers can be moved no faster than the ciliary action. 
One can not articulate sillabls faster than their ciUary move- 
ments. The ciliary rate of motion seems to be the inherent 
rate for all eels, but their external manifestations ar of a 
rate controld by other mecanisms. 

The wings of the dragon-fly vibrate at the rate of 28, those 
of the wasp at 110, of the bee at 190, and of the house-fly 
at 330, a second. When a hony-bee is tired, its pitch is much 
lower than when it starts out in the morning.

Taken from the Pittsfteld Eagle of Sept. 20, ipip 

We hav had so many inquiries about the deth of our littl 
girl from lockjaw, folloing vaccination, that I feel it my duty 
to put the facts before the peopl of Pittsfield, in the hope of 
saving other children from the sad fate my littl girl met. 

Our littl Justine was five years old in August. She was a 
perfectly helthy child, until we had her vaccinated, that she 
might go to scool. 

She went to scool, but on September 9th she came down 
stairs not feeling wel. She was lame in her groin. On Septem- 
ber 10th her arm hung helpless. In the afternoon she com- 
plaind of not feeling wel and wanted to lie down. I telefoned 
to the doctor who vaccinated her and he calld the next day. 
I askt him what aild her, but he gave no satisfactory anser; 
he told me to use liniment on the arm and rub it wel. 

Her tung was as red as beefsteak. She jumpt all nite in her 
sleep; her tung became fearfully sore. 

Thursday afternoon she couldn't walk. I had to carry her. 

She trembld or twicht on one side. I calld Dr. , who is 

a child speciaHst. He came Thursday evening and made a 
thoro inspection. He said "infection" had set in. She jumpt 
all nite and was more stiffend. Friday she had a temperature. 
Dr. said, "Lockjaw has developt." 

She was taken to the hospital Friday at 1 o'clock. She was 
given an injection in her spine (Anti-tetanus serum). She 
was quiet for a time, but she went into convulsions at 5 o'clock. 
She stretcht out her arms to me and screamd. She died at 
9 o'clock Friday nite, September 12. She was so happy at 
the thot of going to scool, but she was only abl to go a littl 
while. 

I am eager to do anything in my power to help save other 
children from suffering and deth. I feel that the parents of 

one hundred twenty-seven 



Pittsfield ought to rize up and demand that the compulsory 
vaccination law of this state be done away with. 

Sincerely, 

MRS. MABEL COE.

When all the world seems weighted 

Down with evil, hate and sin; 
And life with cares is freighted,

When douts and fears assail yu.

And others hesitate, — yu

It isn't he who's lucky 

That I'd place my best trust in, 
But one who's always plucky.

It is interesting to observ that of all the American soldiers 
wounded by the enemy in the World War, only six per cent. 
(6%) died in the hospitals, while among those sickend by 
other agencies the deth rate was sixty-six per cent. (66%). 

It ought not to be difficult to ascertain the caus for this 
high deth rate. 

Paraffin A plications in Burns 

Hot wax aplied to burns is nothing new. It was used nearly 
two thousand years ago, but it is only in late years that we hav 

one hundred twenty-eight 



cum to kno just why paraffin or wax is of such benefit in 
the treatment of wounds. 

One of the first and most important reasons is that it pre- 
vents the escape of energy from a denuded surface. 

WiUiam Sanger of the medical staf of the great Colorado 
Fuel and Iron Co. at Pueblo, Colo., refers to the value of 
paraffin wax in burns. At the Minnequa Hospital, the medical 
staf cares for aproximately 13,000 persons. Sanger states that 
the paraffin treatment of burns has the f olloing advantages : 

1. Immobilizes the wound. 

2. Protects granulations. 

3. Stimulates epithehal growth. 

4. Greatly minimizes pain. 

5. Renders subsequent dressings easy and much more rapid. 

6. Prevents excessiv scar formation. 

Burns treated thus certainly heal with extraordinary rapid- 
ity. Altho this treatment is apparently contrary to many 
surgical principls, yet it produces the results. Foul secretions 
containing varius bacteria ar seald up. However the patient 
recovers in half the usual time. 

This is one of the many circumstances in the treatment of 
diseas, namely, that the clinical findings ar the ones to be relied 
upon regardless of theory or laboratory findings.

A Neumonia Jacket Worth While 

Take six to ten onions, according to size, chop fine, and put 
in a large spider on a hot fire. Then ad about the same quan- 
tity of rye meal and thicken enuf to form a thick paste. 

In the meanwhile, stir it thoroly, letting it steam five to ten 
minits. Then put in a cotton bag large enuf to cover the chest, 
and aply to the chest as hot as patient can bear. 

In about ten minits aply another, and thus continue by 
re-heating the poultis. In a few hours the average patient wil 
be out of danger from neumonia, provided he is kept per- 
fectly quiet. 

Usually three or four aphcations wil be sufficient, but always 
continue the aplications until the perspiration starts freely 
from the chest. 

Those who hav used this "neumonia jacket" and hav given 
only fruit juices to the patient, and hav kept them quiet in

Vincent's Angina or Epidemic Sore Throat 

On pages 297 to 304 of The Natural Way there is quite a 
discussion of "Vincent's Angina," or sore throat in which the 
micro-organisms described by Vincent wer prevalent. I hav 
described a situation in which a ''carrier" of these organisms 
was persecuted and deprived of his liberty to ern a living be- 
cause some germ- faddists found these organisms in his throat. 
I also mention the fact that I found them in the throats of 
every cow that was in barn-floor dust. All this is now all the 
more interesting that reports ar being publisht, six months 
after the above was printed, that fifty per cent, of the smears 
made from the throats of all the troops in a military hospital 
during the World War showd the presence, of these very 
organisms. The ''expert" report further says that even if 
the organisms wer present it was no sign that the carrier had 
the diseas, as "certain predisposing causes must act before 
the carrier had epidemic sore throat." In others words these 
germ faddists dare not say a fello has a real bad sore throat til 
he really feels it. From what the "officials" hav been saying 
for years we hav been led to believ that we wer ded if they 
said so and that we wer sick if they said so and that we wer 
idiots if they said so. 

I might ad for the illumination of my readers that the army 
"experts" say that this epidemic sore throat might cum from 
bad teeth, so if they say a fello's teeth ar diseasd they must 
be so, even if they ar as sound as Nature could make them. 
If physicians ar to retain the least bit of public confidence 
they should hav the germ faddists lockt up or exterminated.

admission to or attendance in any public scool, college, uni- 
versity or other educational institution, or for the employment

Among the high medical authorities who hav admitted the 
dangers of vaccination and condem its compulsion ar Dr. 
Osier, Hon. John Burns, English Minister of Helth, and Dr. 
Millard of London, Helth Offiser of the unvaccinated city of 
Leicester. 

Dr. Millard, the great authority on vaccination says, "Altho 
infantile vaccination is falling more and more into disuse 
thruout the whole cuntry, yet smallpox, contrary to all pro- 
vaccinationists' expectations and profesies, continues to decline 
and has almost disappeard. 

He further says if it could be shown that sanitation thoroly 
carrid out is alone sufficient for the efficient control of small- 
pox in this cuntry (as in Leicester), why inflict upon the 
cuntry universal vaccination with all its inseparabl draw- 
backs? Moreover, what justification can there be any longer 
for compulsion? It cannot be denied that vaccination causes, 
in the aggregate, very considerabl injur}^ to helth. 

Helth Offiser Millard, says further, "During the last decade, 
the deths from vaccinia (cowpox) foUoing vaccination hav 
several times outnumberd those from smallpox, and it looks 
as if vaccination wer becumming the more serius diseas of 
the two." 

The reports of the Registrar General of England shows that 
from 1905 to 1910 the deths from smallpox of children under 

one hundred thirty-two 



five years of age numbered 26, while deths from vaccination 
during the same period wer 98 or practically four to one. In 
1911, 1912, 1913, eight children under five years of age died 
from smallpox, while thirty children of the same age in the 
same period died from the effects of vaccination. 

I wish to call my readers' attention to the fact that the 
recent epidemic of influenza was much more severe among 
the vaccinated men in the military camps and hospitals than 
among the rest of the population, and it now begins to look 
as if the great flu epidemic was largely due to vaccination and 
serums as wel as to other misdirected advice given out by the 
medical authorities. 

Mr. Charles M,. Higgins in his book on "The Horrors of 
Vaccindtion" says in compulsory vaccination there is abso- 
lutely neither liberty nor justis and it is utterly opposed to 
the fundamental American principl of inherent human right 
to medical liberty and choice, and to sanctity of body, and 
it therefore fits properly only with some code of Prussianism 
— from which it has been in fact copied. 

Mr. Higgins further says "All compulsory vaccination is 
clearly un-American, illegal, unconstitutional, medically bar- 
barus, and unworthy of a place in any American military, 
medical or legislativ code." 

The judges of many State Courts and the Supreme Court 
of the U. S. hav frequently ruled that compulsory vaccination 
is unconstitutional. 

The time will soon cum when physicians wil look back with 
horror upon the principl now taut in many of our medical 
colleges that "the more diseas we inflict, the more helth we 
create." 

If one would only look up the records of a cuntry like 
Japan for exampl where repeated inoculations is rigidly com- 
pulsory, and see the amazing mortality from smallpox, I think 
they would at once change their mind regarding the super- 
stitious idea of vaccination. 

Compare a cuntry like Germany and Japan with all their 
vaccination and re-vaccination with that of Leicester, Eng- 
land, which has been unvaccinated for the past thirty years, 
and where sanitation has taken the place of vaccination. In 
the latter place smallpox is almost entirely unherd of. 

According to the U. S. Govt. Year Book, Department of 

one hundred thirty-three 



Agriculture, U. S. A. of 1914, the foot-and-mouth diseas 
epidemics that ravaged animals and mankind in this cuntry 
in 1902 and 1908 was causd by vaccin virus imported from 
a foren cuntry and used by two of the largest makers of 
virus in the U. S.

Geotropism (positiv geotropism as distinguisht from

Gravitation is supposed to be the caus of geotropism — the 
turning toward the center of the erth. 

The twining of vines either clockwize or contra-clockwize 
in my opinion is not due to a geotropic stimulus, but I beHev 
is due to the effects of the magnetic meridian. Those vines 
which turn clockwize north of the equator turn contra- clock-

Influence of Music 

"Man is as much a child of the beautiful as he is of wisdom 
or genius. Nature never drives lis if she can avoid it. She 
prefers to allure us. She makes al things charming. She 
paints the fields and the woods that we may cum to them led 
by affection. She makes the face of youth beautiful, throws 
color on the cheek, and makes the lines of smiles and lafter 
cum and go, and she sends the soul into the eyes, that yung 
years may bild up everlasting f rendship. 

"Yielding gidance to the Architect of the Universe, man 
follows the beautiful and to the idea of home, tempi, or garden 
or city, he cums with both hands ful of ornament. He claims 
for his house and his dres what Nature givs to the peach or 
the leaf or the rose. . 

"In this deep filosofy music cums as the decoration of a 

one hundred thirty-six 



thot. Man submits his truths to several steps of this ennobling 
work. He found them in prose and he asks Milton or Dante, 
or Tennyson or Longfellow to frame them into poetry, but not 
yet satisfied he takes the thot to the great musicians and asks 
Mozart or Weber or Schubert to pour stil more color on the 
blessed thot. 

*Tt was not enuf for the Greeks that some of their truth 
took the poetic form of the drama. It must also be sung on 
the stage so that between the uplifted hands of both Poetry 
and Music all might see how sorrowful was Oedipus or how 
sweet Antigone. 

"Thus all thru its history mtisic has ever been the final 
decoration of a sentiment. Poetry has done much when it has 
gatherd up some of the pensiv meditations of man when he 
draws near his long home, and has calld this rithmxical arrange- 
ment a poem. Even red to us, its harmonius feet ar impressiv, 
but when Mozart goes further, and wreathes those words with 
his composition into a requiem, then is the cup of our realiza- 
tion ful, and all the pomp and splendor of ertli sink like the 
summer sun." — Swing.

not put some pears into his pocket when no one was there to 
see him, replied, 'Yes, / was there; and I never intend to see 
myself do a dishonest thing.' 

"This is a simpl illustration of principl or conscience domin- 
ating in the caracter and exercizing a protectorate over it; 
nof merely a passiv influence, but an activ power regulating 
the life. Such a principl goes on molding the caracter and 
daily growing with the force that operates every moment. 
Without this dominating influence, caracter has no protection 
but is constantly liabl to fall away before temptation, and 
every such temptation succumbd to, every act of meanness or 
dishonesty, however slight, causes self^ degradation."

AM I AN AMERICAN? 

The time has cum when every citizen of this Nation 
should halt in his daily doings and, serching his soul, ask 
himself the question: ''Am I an American? In my actions, 
am I squaring myself with the great American principls of 
Liberty, Justis and Equality, which hav been the most con- 
structiv forces for the advancement and uplift of Humanity?" 

The man who would subject the national life and all of 
its interest to the wil of his group is an unrighteous and a 
disloyal citizen. He is unrighteous becaus he would substitute 

one hundred thirty-eight 



selfish aggrandizement for fixt principls of justis. He is disloyal 
becaus he denies his allegiance to his cuntry and givs it to 
the particular clas to which he belongs and beyond which his 
narro vizion and perverted purpose do not reach. 

Americanism cannot liv — this Nation as concievd by our 
fathers, cannot endure under the shackls of clas control. When 
the laws ar defied and mob violence resorted to, we must 
meet it with force and see to it that life and property ar 
protected. — Governor Goodrich of Indiana. 



THINK 

The flu should caus a flu-rry among organised medical 
doctors. 

Since October, 1918, there hav been aproximately 7,200,000 
cases of the flu in the United States. Out of this number 
there wer more than 400,000 deths under "regular medical 
care." This ratio is about 1 deth to 18 cases. 

There wer more than 35,500 cases under the care of just 
one clas of drugless physicians with only 41 deths, which 
means that these drugless physicians had only 1 deth to 860 
cases. Other classes of drugless physicians hav as nobl a 
record. 

This shows the efficiency of the drugless physicians to be 
fifty times greater than that of the so-calld ''regular medical 
physicians." 

These records, which hav been publisht broadcast thruout 
the United States, ar making the peopl think. 

I hope in time it wil make the ''regulars" think deeply enuf 
to mend their erring ways for the good of humanity.

the entire medical profession of the United States became the 
medical department of the army and navy. Each soldier was 
carefully selected; about nine wer rejected out of every ten 
who wer registerd, and every man was "immunized" by five 
or six vaccinations. 

Five great national organizations, with hundreds of mil- 
lions of dollars, vied with each in furnishing tobacco, cigarets, 
candy, doughnuts, medicins, and other "luxuries." 

On December 1, 1920, there wer availabl 39,510 hospital 
bedstone to every nine men— and a medical personnel of 
doctors, nurses, et al, of 354,796. In spite of such "advan- 
tages," there wer admited on the sick list for 1917-18 3,003,- 
253 or 939.37 men out of every thousand; and 15.86 out of 
every hundred died. 

'Regular medicin had everything as it wanted it. Not a 
"quack" had a look-in anywhere or at any time. Who did 
the killing? No one had a hand in it except "sientific medicin" 
and God. Who did the killing?

THE MAN WHO QUITS , 

The man who quits has a brain and hand 
As good as the next; but he lacks the sand 
That would make him stick, with a courage stout, 
To whatever he tackls, and fight it out. 

He starts with a rush, and a solem vow 
That he'l soon be showing the other how ; 
Then something new strikes his roving eye, 
And his task is left for the by and by. 

It's up to each man what becums of him; 
He must find in himself the grit and vim 
That bring success ; he can get the skil 
If he brings to the task a stedfast wil. 

No man is beaten til he givs in ; 
Hard luck can't stand for a cheerful grin; 
The man who fails needs a better excuse 
Than the quitter's whining, "What's the use?" 

For the man who quits lets his chances slip. 
Just becaus he's too lazy to keep his grip. 
The man who sticks goes ahed with a shout, 
While the man who quits joins the ''down and out."

THE MAN WHO STICKS 

The man who sticks has this lesson lernd : 

Success doesn't cum by chance — it's ernd 

By pounding away ; for good hard nocks 

Wil make stepping stones of the stumbling blocks. 

He knows in his hart that he cannot fail; 
That no il fortune wil make him quail 
While his wil is strong and his courage high, 
For he's always good for another try. 

He doesn't expect by a singl stride 
To jump to the front; he is satisfied 
To do every day his level best, 
And let the future take care of the rest. 

He doesn't behev he's held down by the "boss" — 
It's work, and not favor, that "gets across." 
So his motto is this : "What another man 
Has been abl to handl, I surely can." 

For the man who sticks has the sense to see 
He can make himself what he wants to be, 
If he'l off with his coat, and pitch right in — 
Why, the man who sticks can't help but win.

WHAT OTHERS SAY REGARDING MY WORK 

Medical Summary, August, ipi8 

Lecture Course to Physicians on Natural Methods, 
Diagnosis and Treatment — Aids to Humanity Helpers. By 
George Starr White, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D., Los Angeles, 
Calif. 

This Lecture Course to Physicians is one of such a degree 
of originality that one's attention is held at once by the 
striking manner in which the statements ar made. In fact, 
this spirit of originality extends to all the methods advo- 
cated and used, as wel as to the orthografy, the hundreds of 
diagrams, cuts and illustrations, and the exceedingly fine 
caracter of the type, paper and binding, and the general 
make-up of this elegant volume. 

The methods of diagnosis and treatment ar unique and 
the author's own, and they ar convincingly suplemented by 
the evidence of their efficiency by the testimony of other 
physicians and many patients relievd and cured. 

Practically the whole category of diseases is included in 
these lectures, and the methods of treatment include 
natural means, such as lig'ht, color, odor, magnetism and 



one hundred forty-nine 



electricity, blending into a sistem calld by the author "Bio- 
Dynamo-Chromatic Method of Diagnosis and Treatment." 
Owing to the novelties involvd, and the diversified and 
extended nature of the subjects comprized, wt would advize 
our readers to put themselvs in communication w^ith the 
author of these lectures, when they wil reciev information 
that wil giv them the proper conception of their scope 
and purpose. 

Clinical Medicine, August, ipi8 

Doctor White is wel known to many physicians for the 
original Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic methods which he employs 
for the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. He has 
recently elaborated his previus lecture courses into one large 
volume embodying the information that he formerly com- 
municated to his pupils direct. 

This book contains an immense amount of information on 
methods that ar not usually found in "orthodox" textbooks. 
That does not mean that they ar "no good." Rather, on the 
contrary, surprizing results hav been secured with them. 

This work wil be a welcum addition to the physician's 
library. 

Truth Teller, July, ipi8 

Dr. George Starr White's Lecture Course to Physicians and 
Aids to Humanity Helpers, Seventh Edition, is a volume of 
over 1400 pages and over 450 illustrations, devoted to natural 
methods of diagnosis and treatment. 

The volume is dedicated to those who ar fighting for medical 
democracy, medical freedom, and medical advancement. It is 
a wonderful book. It is impossibl in a short articl to do justis 
to any part of it. We can only advize all physicians to read 
it and profit by the wonderful revelations which Dr. White 
makes in this book. 

The practis recommended and taut in this volume would 
revolutionize the practis of medicin. In this volume Dr. White 
states that more peopl ar being treated by drugless methods 
in the United States today than by all the drug methods com- 
bined. We believ that this is true, and that the number is 
constantly increasing. This is due to the results foUoing sis- 
tems which ar ever shifting from bad to worse in the hands 

one hundred fifty 



of seudo-sientists and incompetents, and becaus of the foolish 
prejudices which hav descended thru centuries from the 
darkest ages. 

Dr. White's treatment is not wholly drugless as he must 
obtain some chemical combinations and reactions. But the use 
he makes of such substances is not objectionabl and certainly 
is not harmful in any degree. Celery, lettis, onions, carrots, 
and all vegetabls ar drugs in the strict sense of the word. 
The foUoing ar a few ''sparks" from his pen : 

"A real physician wil not hesitate to use any method that 
wil reliev the sick. 

"A real quack is one who wil hesitate to use any method 
to reliev the sick unless it be sanctiond by some 'governing 
board.' 

*'To be a physician one does not hav to administer dedly 
poisons nor mutilate the body any more than a pedestrian 
has to carry dynamite in his pocket to 'giv him a lift.' " 

Pharmacal Advance, September-October, ipi8 

Dr. White's highly illustrated and unique work "is dedi- 
cated to those who ar fighting for medical democracy, medical 
freedom and medical advancement." 

The outgrowth of this voluminus volume cums from the 
original lecture course by the author to physicians — over 1400 
pages being required to cover the subject. 

As is aptly stated in the Foreword, ''One cannot stand stil. 
One must either recede or go forward." 

Many ar the advanst ideas set forth in this book. In fact 
he has blazed an entirely new trail, basing his work, as he 
says, on the "Laws of Nature." 

The clinical data, both his own and that of his students, 
exempUfy these ideas and ar worth the thotful consideration 
of practitioners, but as the author distinctly states, unless one 
believs in Natural Laws, they should not read it. 

Herald of Health and Naturopath, October, 1Q18 

Dr. White has done a big servis to doctors — drugless and 
others — ^by combining into one volume his splendid series of 
sixty-eight lectures. Over 350 clinical cases ar described and 
illustrated, a feature which makes this book invaluabl to the 
practitioner. 

The Course of Lectures is divided for convenience into ten 

one hundred fifty-one 



sections, each section covering a complete branch of rational 
therapeutics. 

Dr. White devotes Part One of his book to his own 
remarkabl discovery of the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of 
diagnosis and therapy, which he calls for short the B-D-C 
method. So unusual and wonderful does his method appear 
at first that one is inclined to the belief that it belongs to the 
sfere of the supernatural. The doctor's practical handling of 
it, however, and the overwhelming proofs he cites to support 
his discovery, leav no room for skepticism. And perhaps the 
most remarkabl thing about this new sience is its simplicity 
— an immense advantage to all who desire to bring the method 
to their aid and practis. 

Not only is every step clearly and thoroly explaind, but the 
welth of illustration makes the grasp of the subjects dubly 
sure. After bringing his students thru every faze of natural 
therapy, cromo or color therapy, foto or light therapy, quartz 
light, oxigen vapor, electro-therapy, spinal therapy, exercize, 
diet, pressure therapy, suggestion, sycotherapy, etc., etc., the 
author devotes Part Ten to an intensely interesting exposition 
of the principls of Syco-Magnetic-Radiation, which he ex- 
plains has been considerd by some as occult work, but which 
is in reality purely fisical. He develops his principls on the 
basis that "no matter what form Hfe or vital force may take, 
no matter what vehicl life is carrid in — be it animate or inani- 
mate — its magnetic atmosfere must be caracteristic of the 
vehicl." 

He anticipates the skeptic by saying, "fenomena which 
belong to this branch of the healing art, extraordinary tho they 
ar, ar part of our everyday experiences, yet not recognized 
as such." 

He takes the influence of mind over matter out of the relm 
of speculation, incidentally giving the practitioner a new and 
powerful aid in the conquering of fisical and mental 
abnormalities. 

This splendid and monumental work is publisht by the 
author.

There may be, says Dr. Bowers in a recent articl in the 
Medical Summary, a few doctors who kno what is the matter 
with 50% of their patients, altho Dr. Richard Cabot and a 
good many miUion laymen dout it. This is sad, but not nearly 
so sad as the twin fact that the average physician or surgeon 
wil admit the soft impeachment. Nor does the physician en- 
thuse riotusly over anything that promises to make him more 
thoro in his work unless the gentlman who originated the 
thing has been thoroly and definitly ded for a long period of 
time. To which disconsolate belief Dr. , Bowers is impeld, 
owing to the apathy, not to say antagonism, of the profession 
at large toward the method of diagnosing toxemias by a com- 
bination of colord lights and the magnetic meridian as dis- 
coverd and described in Dr. White's voluminus work. 

To the dyed-in-the-wool ''orthodox" physician, all this may 
sound ridiculus. Yet every physician who is familiar with 
the use of colord lights in the diagnosis and treatment of 
diseas, otherwize known as the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic sistem 
of diagnosis and treatment, knows that everything that the 
author claims for it can be accomplisht and convincingly 
demonstrated, and that very easily and quickly. 

If yu hav any lingering question on the matter, Doctor, get 
Dr. White's book — let him speak for himself directly to yu — 
and read it thotfuUy and try it out yourself. There is nothing 
secret nor misterius about it. The whole thing is open to your 
personal investigation and proof. And it is worth proving.

A Lecture Course to Physicians on Natural Methods in 
Diagnosis and Treatment, Seventh Edition. It is the belief of 
the riter that one of the most pressing needs of the present 
time is education of the peopl as a whole in the subjects of 
vital importance with which this book deals, and an increast 
interest in this field of sientific work. Sientists ar the leaders 
of the world, and should constantly- endevor to keep a littl 
ahed of the lay population who folio them. It is, however, 
important that the leaders should not only blaze the trail, but 
should make it sufficiently easy to find so that the follower* 
may not fall too far behind. In the intense fascination of ex- 
ploring the trail, and the eager impulse to pres on to newer 
and ever newer fields, the sientist is in danger of forgetting

in the rear. 

In regard to diet Dr. White is unusually sane. The volume 
has as many valuabl points brot out clearly and intelligently 
as any work that we hav had the plesure of reviewing for a 
long time. Jt is a valuabl book and it would be wel for every 
physician to hav one in his offis. Its 450 illustrations ar cer- 
tainly very important, accurate and intelligently selected. We 
would advize the readers of this Journal to rite to Dr. White,

massiv work is an encyclopedia of the latest and best methods 
outside of the formal materia medica in helping sick humanity 
and teaching and practising the laws of helth. It is too great 
for description in these pages. 

It is squarely against medical trusts and political medicin. 
Its watchwords ar progress, discovery, and medical freedom. 

Dr. White has discoverd and put into practical form a new 
sistem of diagnosis and treatment. 

The spirit of the author and the tone of the book can most 
redily be percievd by a few extracts from the Introduction : 

''Stand for and encourage every movement for freedom in 
aiding and healing the sick and afflicted. 

"Stand for what is right tho it may temporarily be to your 
disadvantage. 

"Stand by the axiom that right makes might. 

"Stand by those fighting to crush "Kultur" with its motto

The Seventh Edition, Lecture Course to Physicians on 
Natural Methods in Diagnosis and Treatment by George Starr 
White, M. D., Ph.D., LL.D., F.S.Sc. Lond., of Los Angeles, 
CaUfornia, is a colossal work, and the product of an original 
investigator in the relm of medical art and sience. Dr. White 

' one hundred fifty-four 



stands for democracy in medicin; his cult stands boldly for 
freedom in aiding and healing the sick ; his motto is that right 
alone makes might. 

Where the hart is alright, the ways of the hand cannot go 
astray, and this idea should lead us to make a serius investi- 
gation of these new methods of grappling with diseas that 
thro aside the poisonus, dangerus methods of political medicin. 

Dr. White's original work — Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Diag- 
nosis and Therapy — is fully explaind and illustrated in this 
great work. This form of diagnosis is mathematically correct. 
It does away with the necessity of "exploratory operations" 
and establishes by a method that is infallibl, when correctly 
employ d, whether one has or has not a specific disorder, and 
is a wonderful improvement on the hit or mis method of the 
"orthodox" physician. 

Besides this, it enabls the physician to diagnose tuberculosis, 
cancer, sifilis, gonorrea, etc. at their very inception and thus 
saves thousands of lives that ar lost by delay in recieving 
medical attention. 

Space utterly forbids an adequate account of this epoc- 
making book which contains a world of valuabl information 
pertaining to helth. The field of human ailments and their 
successful treatment is coverd in a masterly and helpful man- 
ner. Dr. White has studied long and deeply and beyond 
question is imbued with a passionate desire to help humanity 
thru Nature's forces — both the self-evident and the les familiar 
— to maintain or regain the all desirabl object — Helth. 

As an indication of the standing of Dr. White and his work, 
it may be pertinent to say that the Incorporated Society of 
Science, Letters and Art, London, England, had his work 
under investigation for a year all unknown to him. He was 
then askt for a thesis upon his work, which v%'as given, where- 
upon Dr. White was made a Life Fellow of this distinguisht 
society. 

All should hav this valuabl contribution to the world's 
needs. The work is a notabl contribution to the filosfy and 
practis of drugless healing and is tipical of the great change 
that is cumming over the art of healing at the present time. 

The radical sistem of spelling adopted by the author is in 
harmony with the radical principls enunciated.

When glancing thru Dr. White's Lecture Course to 
Physicians on natural methods of diagnosis and treatment — 
Seventh Edition — the reviewer took up the task of reviewing 
it with fear and trembling. At first it seemd impossibl to giv 
an unbiast review of such methods of diagnosis and treatment. 

From seeing an illustration of a quartz lamp and reading 
the tecnic of its aplication, the reviewer recievd a jolt. There 
is more about the use of the quartz lamp in this volume than 
in the manufacturer's literature. 

Having workt with Nagelschmidt and Kromayer, the 
reviewer may say with some authority that White has done 
better with the subject than they hav.

Prostatic Diseas and Impotency, New and Original Methods 
of Treatment.^ By George Starr White, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D., 
F.S.Sc.Lond., Los Angeles, Calif. 

The author of this unique w^ork has made some discoveries 
in the non-surgical treatm.ent of diseas of the prostate that ar 
astounding. 

He utilizes natural laws in a manner never before mentiond. 

He opens up a field never before explored. 

At one stroke he completely takes the bete noir out of the 
treatment of Prostatic Diseas and Impotency. 

His logic and discussions ar as fascinating as they ar useful. 

He takes the student into the great Out-of -Doors and intro- 
duces him to Nature, and shows him how to harness her 
immutabl laws. 

No laboratory man could hav evolvd such a sistem — only a 
student of Nature could hav set into type such a fascinating, 
practical, and success-winning method. 

Those who hav had the plesure of hearing Dr. White lecture 
or who hav red his great work, ''A Lecture Course to Physi- 
cians," wil not wonder at the sistem he has now workt out 
and proved to be successful for what has long been considerd 
incurabl prostatic conditions. 

He utilizes gravitation in a manner that is enticing. He uses 
electricity after his own original fashion. He handls light as 
a wizard handls wands and balls. Gravitation, heat, light and 
electricity he weavs into a cosmic whole that makes the reader 

one hundred fifty-six 



wonder — wonder that the method had not been thot of before. 

As a follower of Nature, Dr. White could not complete any 
sistem without instruction as to diet and how to liv to get the 
most out of life, and how to be abl to be of the most help 
to humanity. 

In short, Dr. White's book on New and Original Methods 
for Treating Prostatic Diseas and Impotency stands alone — 
it has no competition. It should be on the desk of every 
physician, for it opens up new fields for the progressiv 
physician regardless of cult, creed or sex. 

This work is beautifully printed on special paper and bound 
in elegant fashion. It is profusely illustrated so anyone can 
grasp the ful meaning of the text.

Prostatic Diseas and Impotency, New and Original Methods 
of Treatment. Illustrated. By ' George Starr White, M.D., 
Ph.D., LL.D., F.S.Sc.Lond., Los Angeles, Cahfornia. 

The subject of prostatic diseases has undergon very con- 
siderabl modification in the last ten or fifteen years. For one 
thing, the actual surgery of the prostate has changed from a 
procedure of exceedingly high mortality to one of a very lo 
deth rate. But what is more, much more, important is that 
the surgical treatment of prostatitis and enlarged prostate has 
very largely given place to a more conservativ medical treat- 
ment. It is to this latter faze of the subject that Dr. White's 
book makes an interesting and valuabl contribution. 

Some time ago we publisht a review of the author's larger 
work in which he set forth at length the principls and working 
tecnic of his ''Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic" sistem of diagnosis 
and therapy — an original aplication of magnetic and color 
vibration to the detection and treatment of diseas. The author 
assumes that the reader has made himself acquainted with 
this sistem in order to understand and put in practis the 
contents of this volume, which treats of its aplication 
specifically to diseases of the prostate ; and the reviewer must 
assume that Dr. White's sistem of Bio-Dynamo-Chromatics 
has justifi£d itself in general — as the evidence adduced in his 
larger book would seem to indicate — when he commends the 
present work to the attention of the physician. Most assuredly 
the author givs a reason for the faith that is in him. He asks 

one hundred fifty-seven 



no blind assent to his theories and procedures. They ar an 
open book, for anyone to prove for himself. If his mode of 
therapy is as efifectiv as he claims for it — and, we repeat, he 
offers overwhelming testimony on that point — then, most 
decidedly, it furnishes an exceedingly valuabl resource in the 
management of a very prevalent and disastrus clas of diseases.

Prostatic Diseas and Impotency, New and Original Methods 
in Diagnosis and Treatment. Illustrated. 1919. George Starr 
White, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D., F.S.Sc.Lond., Los Angeles, Calif. 

This is the newest book from the pen of that indefatigabl 
worker along new and original lines of diagnosis and treatment. 
Dr. George Starr White of Los Angeles, Calif., whose Lecture 
Course to Physicians is wel known to readers of Clinical 
Medicine. 

This book is printed in accordance with Dr. White's cus- 
tom on a sepia-tinted paper, which certainly is restful to the 
eyes. The type is clear and legibl, and the spelling conforms to 
the 1919 Dictionary of the Simplified Spelling Board. 

Dr. White discusses Prostatic Diseas, and especially its diag- 
nosis, with reference to the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic sistem of 
diagonsis, which is original with him. Among the causes of 
Prostatic Diseas, Dr. White attributes even greater importance 
to venereal diseases, notably gonorrea and sifilis, than is com- 
monly admitted. This is becaus of the fact that a great many 
patients, who either hav apparently been cu'red of their ven- 
ereal diseas, or in whom no simptoms hav ever been manifest, 
sho a positiv Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic reaction. 

In the treatment outlined. Dr. White givs ampl reason for 
the faith that is in him. He is by no means a therapeutic nihil- 
ist, as he employs certain drugs where they ar indicated with 
persistence, and undoutedly with good results, but he depends 
mostly upon fisical methods of treatment, such as electricity 
and the varius rays — powerful incandescent light and actinic 
rays from the quartz lamps. 

The reviewer has been impeld to read this book thru rather 
carefully becaus of the interest that was arousd in it. We 
believ that other physicians studying the book wil be attracted 
in the same manner.

the old and antiquated methods of treating diseas — those who 
believ that freedom of thot and action, within rational bounds, 
should be demanded by all who embark in any healing 
ministry." 

This book is of special interest to the general practitioner, 
and is wel illustrated, so that a grafic idea of the tecnic to be 
employd can be easily seen and carrid out. Dr. White, unlike 
many authors, has discarded theory, using Nature's laws for 
his basis, and describes his successful methods in a manner that 
is both easily readabl and instructiv. 

Beautifully printed and bound in flexibl lether, it makes a 
valuabl addition, in ever}- way, to the physician's library. 

The folloing review of the Seventh Edition of my Lecture 
Course to Physicians appeard in The Healthy Life magazine 
of London, England, July, 1919, issue. This review was ritten 
by Dr. J. Allen Pattreiouex, the wel-known Naturopathic 
physician of London. 

A BOOK OF THE MONTH 

Wer the writer of this review to be askt which of all the 
most recent works publisht dealing with Natural Methods of 
Heahng he considerd to be the most original and instructiv, 
combined with largeness of scope, he would unhesitatingly 
anser that as far as his own knoledge went, his book by Dr. 
George Starr W^hite was deserving of the first place in such a 
category. It is a very big work, and the price is also high, but 
it is one which every physician or other person keenly inter- 
ested in these newer methods of treatment should endevor to 
possess. 

As a practising Naturopathic physician, the reviewer has 
found the book to be of great servis to himself. He conse- 

one hundred fifty-nine 



quently responded all the more redily to the editor's invitation 
to review it in the hope that others in this cuntry (England) 
might also be enabld to gain knoledge and skil in one or the 
other of the many instructiv and original methods of treatment 
outlined in its pages. 

A glance at its "Contents" pages reveals at once the nature 
of the many important subjects v^hich ar treated, some of 
them entirely nev^ to readers on this side of the Atlantic. Who, 
for instance, has ever herd of or red before of "Bio-Dynamo- 
Chromatic Diagnosis and Treatment f" Yet a good section of 
the erlier portion of the book (Part One, 345 pages) is taken 
up solely with a consideration of this highly significant subject. 

Then again in Part Two there is discust ''Condenst Out-of- 
Doors Treatment." This method recievs its name becaus it 
is asserted by Dr. White that "when patients reciev such treat- 
ment, they ar recieving in reality more than they would if on 
the mountains." As is wel known, a mountain residence at a 
high altitude suplies both condenst sunlight and condenst 
oxigen, i.e., ozone. To obtain this, however, one has to leav 
home and travel hundreds or may be thousands of miles, liv 
in a rarified atmosfere, and otherwize experience many dis- 
comforts, all of which militate very seriusly against the thera- 
peutic benefits derivabl from life at such an altitude. 

By means of the ''Condenst Out-of-Doors Treatment" sug- 
gested in this work, however, the patient need travel no farther 
than to the offis of a physician using these methods, and there 
enjoy, in more complete mesure than if he wer resident at a 
mountain altitude, the benefits derivabl from condenst sunlight 
and oxigen. 

What this condenst sunlight and condenst oxigen actually 
consist of, together with the precise methods of administra- 
tion, ar suplied in th^s section with a welth of detail and 
abundance of illustration. 

Citations of many clinical cases ar also given in Part Three 
and elsewhere, in which patients ar stated to hav recoverd 
by means of the aplication of this treatment when practically 
almost all other known methods of treatment had faild to 
effect the cure or giv relief. 

In Part Four several other methods of natural healing ar 
particularized, such as Massage, Hydrotherapy, Electro- 
Therapy, Sinusoidalology, Spinal Reflexology and Therapy, 

one hundred sixty 



Traction Therapy, the Magnetic-Wave Current, Skin Freezing, 
etc., and a welth of practical information on these varius 
methods is supHed. This section is also notisabl for the fact 
that, as in the two previus ones, some new and original 
methods of treatment ar given. Thus a special form of mas- 
sage is outlined to which has been given the name of "Iodic 
Massage," also a special form of Electro-Therapy discoverd 
and developt by Dr. White under the titl of Pulsoidal Therapy. 
This treatment is distinctivly individualistic to each patient. 

Another method termd "Ergo-Therapy" givs a rational 
means of reducing fat and exercizing the eels. There is also 
suphed in this section a useful Ust of Fisical Exercizes for 
the physician himself to practis, or to teach to his patients, 
in order to keep fit and wel. 

Part Five deals also with a variety of subjects such as 
Dietetics with special reference to the meaning of Electric 
and Magnetic Foods; Colon Therapy with instructions, assisted 
with some very clear illustrations on how to examin the colon 
and treat for diseases of same. The necessity for this exam- 
ination and treatment may be gatherd from the statements 
made by Dr. White that auto-toxemia (self -poisoning) is the 
caus of most human ils, with its focal point more often found 
in the colon than elsewhere, and that when the colon is restored 
to a normal fisiologically clean condition, the patient gets wel 
regardless of what the disc as has been calld. 

Part Six goes very thoroly into the theory and practis of 
Pressure Therapy. 

Part Seven deals with such subjects as "Vivisection," "Germ 
Theory," "Vaccination" and "Inoculation" Dr. White clearly 
shows what his position is on these subjects when he states 
in reference to vivisection, ''there is as great an abyss between 
the true physician and the vivisectionist as there is between 
heven and hel." Also when, in regard to vaccination, he writes, 
"Personally I hav never believd that vaccination prevents 
smallpox. I believ it is sanitation and- isolation that prevent it. 
Many reliabl statistics ar given revealing the fallacies of the 
varius theories on which the practises of vaccination, inocula- 
tion, etc. ar bilt. 

Part Eight has a chapter giving a useful amount of infor- 
mation in respect to the "Cigaret Habit"; one dealing with 
"Fakes of Fakirs," and one on the subject of "Offis Efficiency" 

one hundred sixty-one 



Part Nine is a large section of over two hundred pages and 
contains "A Therapeutic Gide," giving a list of varius com- 
plaints with methods of treatment in accordance with Dr. 
White's discoveries and results. This is a very servisahl 
adjunct to the practising physician. 

•What also makes the work more valuabl in this respect is 
the copius Reference Index which has been supUed, whereby 
practically every subject, littl or big, treated of in the work 
can be turnd to on the instant. 

Part Ten deals with the Human Aura or Syco-Magnetic 
Radiations. A detaild study of the auric rays and portions 
of the body from which they radiate is here suplied. The close 
connection existing between the deficiency in auric rays and 
varius diseases, or auric ray emanations and diseasd portions 
of the body is shown. 

The most original part of this book is clearly that of the 
subjects treated of in the first section, and it wil serv my 
purpose best to mention this matter more particularly here, 
as folloing on the subject of the auric rays, since the Bio- 
Dynamo-Chromatic method of Diagnosis and Treatment 
naturally depends upon this matter of the auric rays and their 
constitution in helth and diseas. 

In years to come, it wil doutless be thru the discovery of 
this particular method of diagnosis and therapy that the 
name of Dr. George Starr White wil becum known and immor- 
talized. In point of fact. Dr. White has alredy establisht a 
reputation in the U.S.A. on account of these unique methods 
of diagnosis and treatment. Patients from all over the U. S. 
and foren cuntries travel to Los Angeles, California, in order 
to reciev the benefit of his advice and special methods of 
treatment. 

"What then," it wil be askt, "is this sistem of Bio-Dynamo- 
Chromatic Diagnosis and Treatment, and what can it do?" 

It is claimd to be none other than a method by which such 
dred complaints as tuberculosis, cancer, sifilis and gonorrea 
can be almost infallibly diagnosed. A large number of clinical 
cases ar given of patients who hav either been sent to Dr. 
White by other physicians for diagnosis, or of patients who 
hav cum on their own initiativ to Dr. White in order to hav 
confirmd or negativd the diagnosis of cancer, tuberculosis, 

one hundred sixty-two 



sifilis, etc., given to their complaint by the previus physician 
or consultants. 

In many of these cases the ordinary practising physician's 
diagnosis has been found to be rong, and the patients placing 
themselvs under Dr. White to undergo his special method of 
treatment hav seen for themselvs the correctnss of his diag- 
nosis by the course of events abundantly justifying the same. 

Should we thus hav — as is claimd by Dr. White to be the 
case — an almost infallibl method of diagnosing such dred dis- 
eases as mentiond above, along with the means of either 
curing or considerably alleviating these complaints where the 
troubl is not too far advanst as to be beyond any hope what- 
ever, such as is suplied by Dr. White's "Bio-Dynamo- 
Chromatic," "Condenst Out-of-Doors," and other treatments, 
then humanity is clearly under a great det to this original 
thinker and investigator. 

Dr. White has alredy had to pay the usual price for pioneer 
work by being criticized by the clique dominating the Ameri- 
can Medical Association. This, however, he considers a small 
price to pay for the benefit he has been abl to confer upon 
humanity. 

Tersely stated, Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic (for short B-D-C) 
Diagnosis consists in eliciting the patient's "Magnetic Meri- 
dian Simpathetic Vagal Reflex" by certain methods clearly 
stated and wel illustrated. According to the nature of this 
reflex which is elicited by means of certain colord rays 
dissipating the normal reflex, so is the particular kind of 
diseas diagnosed. Thus the rays from a colord screen, made 
by combining actinic orange with actinic ruby, shed upon 
the epigastric region of the bare body of the patient wil enabl 
the operator, from the resulting reflex, to diagnose that it is 
either tuberculosis or cancer that the patient is suffering from. 
An actinic orange color used in the same way wil differentiate 
cancer from tuberculosis. 

Another screen wil diagnose sifilis, auto-intoxication and 
malaria, while another wil differentiate malaria from sifilis. 

Another screen again wil diagnose liver intoxication, jaun- 
dis, etc., and so on. Also there ar screens used for ascertaining 
the severity of the diseas, whether that diseas be cancer, 
tuberculosis, etc. 

From this knoledge, it may be inferd with a fiair degree of 

one hundred sixty-three

From this knoledge, it may be inferd with a fair degree of 

one hundred sixty-three 



certainty as to how far a cure is possibl and the probabl 
length of time, on the one hand before the complaint can be 
cured, or on the other hand when deth wil ensue. 

The B-D-C method of treatment consists in also using colord 
radiations, the colord ray used being dependent upon the 
particular color diagnosing the particular diseas. 

In addition to pure B-D-C therapy, in these cases Dr. White 
many times uses some of his other original methods of treat- 
ment such as his sistem of dietetics, "Condenst Out-of-Doors 
Treatment," "Pulsoidal Therapy," etc. There is no ges-work 
about this sistem as judged from its outhne in the book and 
the many reports from his pupils. It is conducted by purely 
fisical methods and on true sientific lines. 

The book is exceedingly wel illustrated. This is one of the 
best of its many valuabl features, whilst, for a sientific work, 
the text is so simpl as to be easily understood by the average 
layman. Altogether, seeing that Dr. White has been his own 
publisher, he is to be congratulated on having gotten out so 
wel finisht a work. 

Folloing out Dr. White's progressiv ideas, he has ritten 
the book according to the simplified spelling sistem. With a 
littl practis one soon becums accustomed to this form of 
spelling. 

To issue such a work in such a form goes again to sho that 
not only has Dr. White the courage of his convictions, but that 
he is also prepared to pay the price, if need be, for them. 
International Brief & Journal, October, ipip 

We hav had the privilege of recieving and reviewing a 
copy of Dr. George Starr White's Lecture Course to Physi- 
cians, Seventh Edition. Also his new work on Prostatic 
Diseas and Impotency. 

We hav reacht the age where we ar looking for, in fact we 
demand, "something different" in the healing art. The lay- 
men demanded this first, and this of necessity, if we did not 
of our own accord, would create the demand of the medical 
profession for something different. 

In reviewing these books, the first glance, the middl look, 
and the last gaze impresses the reviewer that we ar at last 
satisfied in our hunger for the "something different." If we 
stop here, our readers would not kno whether we considerd 
the works better or worse than anything we had seen before. 

one hundred sixty-four 



However, let us say that we hav not alone something different, 
but something better. Most of the subject matter is new and 
original, much of it startlingly so, and on the whole is the 
greatest departure from things ^'orthodox" that we hav seen 
pertaining to diagnosis and treatment of diseas. 

Everything in these books is rational, everything natural, 
and the simplicity and plainness of expression ar both impres- 
siv and pleasing. The secret of Dr. White's (or rather we 
should not say secret for he clearly shows that he has no 
sientific secrets) — let us say the success of Dr. White's work 
is essentially dependent upon the harmonius vibration of all 
things, and his book presents an exampl of harmonius vibra- 
tion. The stock, the type, the composition, the simpHcity, the 
clearness all go to make up harmony. There is scarcely a 
page that does not present a new idea that, if followd out, 
would be of benefit fisically, mentally, or morally, or all com- 
bined to the one to whom it was aplied. 

We predict that Dr. White's Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic, sistem 
of Diagnosis and Treatment, and the principls underlying it 
wil revolutionize the practis of medicin and absolutely control 
diseas. Is that too much to expect, when by it we realize now 
that we can diagnose such diseases as cancer and tuberculosis 
in the most incipient stage, and localize it in every case ? This 
sistem removes the ges.

truth is shocking. Only a lie is shocking-les, peaceful, and 
respectabl. 

I hav before me a book entitld, "A Lecture Course to 
Physicians," by George Starr White, Ph.D., M.D., of Los 
Angeles, California. It is a most novel and striking book. It 
is different than most books on helth inasmuch as it dares 
tel the truth. Its abl author, Dr. George Starr White, does 
not worship the golden calf. Hence he tels the truth based 
upon his many years of experience in the practis of medicin 
and surgery. Altho it is "a lecture course to physicians" yet 
it is ritten in such unmistakabl, simpl terms that it should be 
in the home of every truth-loving and helth-loving person 
in America. 

Even the mecanical construction of the book is different than 
any I hav ever seen. The paper upon which the book is 
printed is of special jfinish and tint to meet the requirements 
of the eye. The type used in the book is a special type, "hand- 
cut," which makes it more natural and easy to read than the 
ordinary "machine-cut" type. The spelling in the book is made 
to conform with the 1918 bulletin of the Simplified Spelling 
Board. 

Under the bedding "Sparks from the Author's Anvil," Dr. 
White says: 

"Nature is stronger than education." 

"Nature is beyond all teaching." 

"Nature directs knoledge, knoledge directs practis, practis 
increases knoledge, which in turn teaches us how to under- 
stand Nature. If yu don't believ in the Laws of Nature, stop 
reading this book before yu begin." 

"Medical laws do not protect the public. The public has to 
liv in spite of the medical laws." 

"Who is responsibl for the great multitudes of unfortunates 
who ar addicted to drug habits? The "M.D.'s," no matter 
from what scool they haild." 

"Yu can't reform a drunkard by getting him drunk." 

"Yu can't reform a quick-temperd person by making him 
mad." 

"Education must be the foundation of all reform." 

"I believ alcohol has done more harm in the world than it 
' can ever do good." 

one hundred sixty-six 



"I also believ tobacco in all forms is a curse. Physicians, 
if they do their whole duty, could soon stamp alcohol and 
tobacco out, but too many physicians ar slaves to one or the 
other or both." 

"O, for a Democracy in Medicin \" 

"Stand for and encourage every movement that stands for 
freedom in aiding and healing the sick and afflicted." 

"Stand for what is right, tho it may temporarily be to your 
disadvantage in some ways." 

"Stand by the vizion of a Universal Democracy — a 
Democracy in Medicin as wel as in politics." 

The International Brief and Journal in its October, 1919, 
issue takes up a great deal of space discussing my Bio- 
Dynamo- Chromatic Method of Diagnosis and my Condenst 
Out-of-Doors Sistem of Treatment. It says in part: 

The Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Sistem of Diagnosis and 
Therapy as evolvd by George Starr White, M.D., has been 
accepted by the medical fraternity of New York City as being 
the most sientific discovery yet made in the practis of medicin. 

There has been littl in medicin that has stood sientific tests. 
All thru the history of medicin, the laboratorist or clinician 
would preside at the birth of a new theory one day and officiate 
at its burial on the morrow. The reason for this is that at 
best it was a theory and not founded on sientific principls. 

The "B-D-C" sistem (Bios, meaning life; Dynamis, force; 
and Chroma, color), founded on wel-known laws of fisics is as 
sientific as its name implies. Therefore, like all things sien- 
tific, it is here to stay, and since it promises the most potent 
possibilities in the relief of human ils of anything yet demon- 
strated, we welcum it with open and eager arms while heaving 
a deep sigh of satisfaction, relaxation and relief. 

Chemistry, engineering, electricity, astronomy, surgery, 
dentistry, ar all truly sientific, and hav all made wonderful 
strides ahed of late, especially in the last five years. Fisical 
Therapy and Diagnosis, which comprizes "B-D-C," and 
largely because of it, is now abrest with the foremost ranks 
of other branches of sience. 

Drug and serum therapy hav made no real sientific advance, 
and hav therefore been relegated to the rear and unsientific 

one hundred sixty-seven 



ranks, and obscured by the dust of progress, perhaps nevei 
again to be on erth, or if so, only to occupy their apropriate 
place in the museums of history. 

It is a matter of record, accepted by the medical profession, 
that more than 50% of diseases ar rongly diagnosed, even in 
the best equipt hospitals by the ablest diagnosticians. What 
then may be expected of the average practician in general 
offis and cuntry practis? Would 75% or even more be too 
high to expect? 

This being the case, then, is it any wonder that there ar so 
many "incurabls," or that the deth rate in general is so high? 
Just stop and think what exactly happens when the average, 
or in fact most any doctor, takes a case. He gesses as nearly 
as possibl what is the matter with the patient. Next, he selects 
a drug, the action of which he knos les. And finally he puts 
it into the patient's sistem, of which he knos stil les. 

The patient feels "a Httl better" for a few days and then 
lapses back to the original simptoms, plus the reactionary ones 
from the drug, and finally tries another doctor. The same 
thing happens again and again. Finally, just before the last 
M.D. lets her slip thru his fingers, as a resource to hold her 
a bit longer, he suggests a ''consultation." He calls in one or 
two other M.D.'s who, ;f they can get together alone wil agree 
that "your doctor is doing all that can be done." Then, if 
she happens to consult alone later with one of the consultants, 
he may say, "Wei, I'l tel yu, Mrs. Kronik, I didn't want to 
say anything to hurt the doctor's feelings, but — etc." Then 
he makes another ges that the first doctor didn't think of, 
and so Mrs. Kronik ultimately becums the victim of gessing, 
until she is listed amongst the incurabls and later long before 
her allotted time, she furnishes the morning papers with the 
hed line, "Gon but not forgotten." 

Now what was the primary reason for this untimely deth ? 
Is it not logical to suppose that if she could hav been accur- 
ately diagnosed in the beginning, that her cure could easily 
hav been effected? It is undisputed that the cure of almost 
every case is simpl if it can be diagnosed erly enuf, just as 
it is easy to extinguish a fire if discoverd erly enuf. 

That is what makes the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic sistem of 
Diagnosis the most valuabl adjunct to the practis of medicin 
yet discoverd. It makes the diagnosis of cancer and tuber- 
owe hundred sixty-eight 



culosis, for exampl, even in the very beginning, an absolute 
certainty. To anyone unacquainted with it and its possibilities, 
that sounds absurd. Claims first made for the tele f one, the 
telegraf, the "movie," aeroplane, wireless tele f one, x-ray, and 
all other things, when first herd of, sounded absurd. But just 
in the same way as cancer and tuberculosis can be diagnosed, 
so can other toxemias, such as sifilis, gonorrea, malaria, grip, 
epilepsy, infections, etc. 

Space here forbids anything like an elucidating description 
of the sistem, but we may say briefly that it is based on the 
principls of vibration of "ether waves," and the magnetic 
meridian, and their effect on the simpathetic-vagal reflex of 
the patient. Merely a question of matching vibrations of the 
patient with the vibration of radiant colors. For instance, 
when a certain shade of ruby is shed on a patient suffering 
from tuberculosis, no matter if he has had it twenty-four 
hours or fifty years, as soon as that color radiates on the bare 
skin of the patient, it changes the tension of his entire nervus 
sistem so that it can be notist by the patient as plainly as by 
the examiner. 

This sistem has now been in practical use with private 
physicians for over six years, successfully proved on many 
thousands of cases by its discoverer and his pupils, and is 
now being used as a routine method by over thirteen hundred 
physicians thruout the world. A number of articles on the sub- 
ject hav been publisht quite freely by sientific investigators. 

The Journal of Iowa State Medical Society, April, 1920, 
containd a paper red at the Iowa State Medical Socity, May 
7, 8, 9, 1919, at Des Moines, Iowa. Among the varius dis- 
cussions was one by Walter E. Scott, M.D., Adel, Iowa. It is 
as folios: 

*T am satisfied that there ar a few men in the United States 
who ar making erly diagnoses of tuberculosis and cancer as 
wel. While I hav not used the method myself, I hav seen 
the work done and hav instald the apparatus for doing it. 

*T believ the only method of making an erly diagnosis in 
tuberculosis and in cancer is by the B-D-C method. This 
method is perhaps just as foren to the members of this Society 
as anything can be, but in time yu wil verify my statement 
that the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diagnosis of tuber- 
one hundred sixty-nine 



culosis and cancer, as wel as sifilis, gonorrea and some other 
conditions, as workt out by Dr. George Starr White of Los 
Angeles, CaHf., is the method of choice." 

At the seventeenth annual convention of the International 
Convention of Physicians and Surgeons and National Asso- 
ciation of Progressive Medicine, held in New York City, 
October, 1919, it was unanimusly resolvd that the Bio- 
Dynamo-Chromatic Sistem of Diagnosis and Therapy should 
be and hereby is recognized and accepted as one of the most, 
if not the most practical and useful adjuncts that has been 
given to medical sience. 

N-30 

My dear Doctor: 

I hav had the plesure of studying your "big book" — the 
Seventh Edition, Lecture Course to Physicians. To me this 
is the real knoledge worth while. I hav workt along natural 
lines for the last fifteen years, and with such methods hav 
always gotten better results than with the obsolete methods 
taut in the medical colleges. 

N-31 

My dear Doctor White: 

It is really futil for me to try to ad anything to the state- 
ments of apreciation and admiration which cum before me 
daily from men who command authority and power in the 
medical world. I can simply say that your work is Herculean 
both in quantity and quality. This elaborate compendium of 
knoledge which yu introduce to the world under the name of 
"A Lecture Course to Physicians, Seventh Edition," is to 
me the most epochal work of man's labor and genius since 
the day of Darwin's ''Origin of Species," only it is vastly more 
practical, as it lays open to the student the very hart of 
Nature and how to enlist Her forces in the servis of human 
helth and life. 

Yu ar revealing more practical facts and advancing more 
boldly in the arena of Nature than any investigator I hav 
been in position to study, but your tools ar not only of the hed 
and hand, but of the intuition as wel. And when keen obser- 

one hundred seventy 



vation, calm judgment, concentrativ mental power, and 
sweeping logic, ar gided and gaged by the light of intuition, 
we ar dealing with a master who becums a leader of his time. 
I am not reading your book. I am studying it, and my mental 
digestion cannot be forst. Hence I must procede by slo stages, 
which makes your book to me a practical encyclopedia con- 
taining an index which in itself constitutes the work of 
an amanuensis. Your book is to me a valuabl possession, which 
is constantly starting something new in my mind. Let me 
repeat to yu that my apreciation is beyond the power of my 
words to express. I hav at present three books in my library 
which I hold up against all the rest, if a choice wer to be 
urged. Of these, one is the Seventh Edition of your Lecture 
Course to Physicians and Aids to Humanity Helpers. 

The folloing is a copy of a letter ritten by a wel-known 
eastern physician (M.D.) under date of June 2, 1918. 
To the Medical Profession and Others 
Who Wish to Aid Humanity: 

Altho I was educated and traind a ''regular physician/' I 
hav ever been mindful of the fact that the so-calld "irregulars" 
could and did cure many cases that the "regulars" had given 
up as "hopeless." 

I did not want to be a "trailer to the Car of Progress," so 
began to look about to gain more knoledge of what the "old- 
fashiond" physician chose to call "irregular." It seemd that 
the "irregular" was so named, because his methods wer not 
O.K.'d by certain societies or associations. The merits of his 
methods did not seem to cut any figure. This all lookt to me 
like a "closed-shop" or a boycotting sistem — in other words a 
professional sistem of unionism and in many cases a sistem 
of "kultur." 

Being an American with liberal ideas of what "American 
liberty" ment, such a sistem of autocracy was repugnant 
to me. 

As I wanted to do some post-graduate work, and at the same 
time hav a rest and change of climate for a few months after 
a stedy grind for over twenty-five years, I took my family to 
Los Angeles, California. 

Among other physicians there, I met George Starr White, 
M.D., whose original work is becumming wel known. Altho I 

one hundred seventy-one 



knew that many of the "regulars" denounst Doctor White, and 
for no other reason than that he taut and practist methods 
not past upon by certain organizations, I determind to find 
just why the Medical Union was trying to boycot him. 

I found Doctor White a hard worker and a man who dis- 
regarded "union hours" as well as anything else that curtaild 
efficiency or progress. His "besetting sin" was his appetite for 
all that would help humanity — whether it wer in medical books 
or in the open "under the great blue sky." I lernd that Nature 
was his teacher and that "what the medical profession says" 
had very littl weight with him. I at once saw why narro 
doctors would try to belittl his work and his desire to aid 
humanity in any manner possibl. 

A great revelation has cum over me — a revelation that must 
sooner or later cum over the "regular scool" in medicin, viz., 
that much of the very best in the healing art is not taut in 
our "regular" medical colleges. Others ar doing as great or 
greater work than the so-calld "regulars" ever hav done, or 
ever can do, with their "ethical" (unionized) methods. 

During four months I spent a good deal of time with Doctor 
White. I now realize why those who practis natural methods 
ar gaining so fast and quietly sweeping the feet out from 
under the ones who use un-natural methods taut and practist 
so largely by the "regulars." 

I now realize as never before why so many of. the "best 
peopl" ar patronizing the "drugless" cults. It is all the fault 
of the old-time "regulars." They tried to dominate the healing 
art and hav been found wanting. Altho they hav resorted to 
politics to bolster up their caus, yet that must soon giv way. 
The peopl pay the bils and the peopl wil hav what they feel 
is the best for them and their children. 

From what I hav seen and lernd during the past few months 
I am convinst that Nature knows more about righting un- 
natural conditions than any group of men who ar trying to 
compel the public to take their medicin or go to jail. Ameri- 
cans ar peace-loving peopl and wil stand a good deal of abuse 
for a time rather than fight, but when once they begin to 
fight there can be no quarter. Just so sure as the sun givs 
us light, just so sure the American peopl wil not stand for 
Medical Unionism much longer. I was a long time waking 

one hundred seventy-two 



up. Others ar waking up too. Soon there wil be a rush 
"to arms." 

I hav had an exceptional opportunity for studying Doctor 
White's work — ^both in diagnosis and treatment. I am imprest 
with the fact that tho his work is as natural as gravitation, yet 
it is so revolutionary that one stands amazed at its possibilities. 

I hav seen him diagnose obscure conditions by his Bio- 
Dynamo-Chromatic sistem in les time than it takes to tel it. 
The best of all, however, is that he is curing many of the 
so-calld *'incurabls.'* I kno this, for I hav seen the cases before 
and after his "condenst out-of-doors" treatment. 

Some of his worst cases hav been diagnosed and treated by 
wel-known physicians from far and near — treated by the 
"regular" methods and given up to die, yet within a few weeks 
such cases wer wel. The patients said they wer wel. They 
lookt wel and by laboratory methods they wer "checkt up" as 
wel. One such case in particular I watcht from the first to 
last and saw the laboratory reports — outside laboratories, that 
the patient went to of his own accord. 

I am frank to admit that I could never hav believd what I 
hav seen had I not been there and been a witness to it all. It is 
for that reason that I am riting this statement, so others not 
so fortunately situated as I hav been, can adjust themselvs to 
"stubborn facts" as I myself hav done, for I shal henceforth 
use his methods. 

Now if Doctor White could do these things only from his 
"personality," or "magnetism," that would be wonderful; but 
to make the work all the more wonderful, his pupils can do 
the same. In fact I hav red many of their reports and hav 
seen their letters, and what they say I could never hav believd 
had I not seen the work myself. 

Altho many of our Journals and Magazines hav described 
Doctor White's methods, yet for the benefit of those who hav 
not red these articls, I wil briefly set forth what his sistem is. 

We all kno that, a compass needl points north and south. 
This must be causd by some natural force, or else it would turn 
in some other direction. This force is the magnetic meridian. 
Now if the magnetic meridian wil turn a needl, it must also 
hav some effect on life, the same as gravitation or other 
natural forces. 

one hundred seventy-three 



Doctor White, over thirty years ago, discoverd that birds 
suffering from tuberculosis could not find their way home, 
that is, lost their power of direction or orientation — a 
magnetic-meridian instinct or sychic compass. After years of 
experimentation and reserch, he discoverd a method of proving 
that the magnetic meridian also affected humans. He also 
lernd that this force acts one way on a wel person and another 
way on one sick from tuberculosis, cancer, sifilis, gonorrea, 
malaria, etc. He then sercht out a way of telling what diseas 
the person had by finding a method for temporarily altering 
the person by means of colord lights, so the magnetic meridian 
would act on them the same as on a wel person. The color that 
would do this indicated what the diseas was. The sistem is 
simpl, yet wonderfully exact. Tuberculosis, cancer, sifilis, etc., 
can be detected by this method at their very beginning and 
long before they could be determind by any other method 
known. 

Doctor White's Condenst Out-of-Doors method of treatment 
is just what the name implies — natural methods concentrated. 
For exampl, he utilizes radiant light of great power and oxigen 
vapor, along with the color that diagnoses the diseas. It is 
all so simpl — ^yet all natural methods must be simpl or they 
would not be natural. 

Fortunately for me, Doctor White's book — A Lecture 
Course to Physicians, Seventh Edition — was printed while I 
was under his tutoring and I red and studied the printed parts 
as they came from the printer, so I am the first one to study 
from this, his masterpiece. 

This book of 1,422 pages and 452 illustration, I am advized, 
cost so much to publish, that no publisher would undertake it. 
Therefore Dr. White, himself, has finanst and publisht this 
great work for the good of humanity. 

Without any hesitation I can say that I hav lernd more 
practical, commonsense methods from studying this work than 
from any other book I hav ever red. 

The book is ritten in a plain, interesting style that does not 
tire one. Every page is glittering with the author's personality 
and fire. Every page givs something new and interesting. In 
fact, the whole book is a moving picture of natural methods 
based on natural laws. A new light dawns on yu as yu peruse 

one hundred seventy-four 



the work and becomes brighter and brighter til the book is 
finisht. Altho the titl of the book is a broad one, yet the 
author's reasoning is broader. 

To all who wish to aid humanity I can hartily recommend 
Doctor White's work as so wonderfully set forth in his 
Seventh Edition, Lecture Course to Physicians and Aids to 
Humanity Helpers. 

N-32 

My dear Doctor White : 

I hav red your unique book, Seventh Edition, Lecture 
Course to Physicians. One cannot read this great work with- 
out feeling that it is bilt on truth and that its author is a 
spiritual and intellectual giant whose work wil shine more 
and more as the years roll on. 

Your book has made me feel small and ignorant, but strong 
and yung in the light of truth. 

Your book and your personality inspire me to progress more 
than ever before. 

N-33 

My dear Doctor White: 

For the past six months I hav been diligently studying the 
Seventh Edition of your Lecture Course to Physicians. I am 
studying it daily with the greatest interest, and find it to be 
thoroly pleasing, sientific, useful and founded upon natural 
laws. 

I hav alredy lernd from this wonderful book more practical 
information than I lernd in four years of medical college 
training. 

I am putting your work into use as rapidly as possibl, and 
am delited with it. 

N-34 

Dear Doctor : 

I hav studied very thoroly your book. Lecture Course to 
Physicians, Seventh Edition, and kno I am getting some very 
remarkabl results from your methods of treatment. 

I hope to soon be abl to cum to Los Angeles and take a 
private course with yu. 

N-35 

I hav recievd your "medical apocalypse" (Seventh Edition, 
Lecture Course to Physicians) and digest it at slo stages. It is 

one hundred seventy-five 



very concentrated meat, yet held in redy solution. So easy 
reading must hav been hard riting. It is a romance of sience, 
at once a fairy tale and concrete history. I certainly shal use 
it for my "sermons" — I never found such sterling material in 
a book before. 

My dear Doctor White: 

I am pleasd to lern that yu ar writing another book giving 
the history of the development of your work and its progress. 
I certainly want a copy. 

Regarding the work which yu hav initiated, and in which 
yu hav often given courses of instruction, I wish to say that 
yu ar so far advanst in original reserch work that the average 
physician cannot grasp the meaning. Your hard thinking and 
conscientious hard work deserv a monument for future pos- 
terity to kno that there was a man in the twentieth century 
who had the knoledge and the courage to dig down unknown 
depths of great knoledge. 

By actual experience I kno that the B-D-C sistem of diag- 
nosis and therapy is so far ahed of the old-scool teachings 
that one wonders how we could stand stil so long. 

Spinal reflexology is the parse for all functional and organic 
treatments. For the increasing of intra-cellular excitation and 
elimination of toxic material, your Combined Light and Con- 
denst Out-of -Doors Treatment hav no equal. 

However, the diagnosis is everything, and with your sistem 
when a diagnosis is made, the treatment is not only indicated 
but suggested by means of the color which elicits the diag- 
nostic reflex. 

Becaus I am connected with a large institution, I must ask 
yu to keep my name confidential, but my four years of actual 
experience with your work proves every word I say to be true. 

A Chicago doctor who was a pupil of mine several years ago 
rites as folios: 

I am having excellent results in treating gonorrea folloing 
out your methods. I hav a number of cases which, after faith- 
ful treatment, giv a normal MM VR. Therefore I can gambl 
that they ar cured. 

My results in the treatment of tuberculosis seem to be in 
every respect such as yu claim in your lectures. 

one hundred seventy-six 



I want to say, Dr. White, that your work has been a great 
source of plesure and profit to me, and of course I am 
enthusiastic about it. 

The folloing is taken from a lecture on "The New Science 
of Healing" (October, 1919), by Frederick Finch Strong, 
M.D., late instructor in Electro-Therapeutics at Tuft's Medical 
College, Boston, Mass. 

"The study of the aura of the patient affords clear indica- 
tions and treatment, if we hav an etheric vizion and can see it. 

George Starr White, M.D., of Los Angeles, Calif., has 
devized and perfected a most reliabl sistem whereby diseas is 
diagnosed from its auric emanations by accurate and demon- 
strabl methods of a purely fisical nature. 

Dr. White's discoveries hav inaugurated a new era in the 
sience of diagnosis. Only those scof at his methods who hav 
never personally tested them or masterd his tecnic." 

N-60 

Dear Doctor White : 

It is now several years since I took up your method of 
diagnosis and treatment. I certainly consider your work 
fundamentally correct. 

N-61 

Dear Doctor: 

I hav been extremely careful in using your Bio-Dynamo- 
Chromatic sistem of Diagnosis,, and hav used it clinically at 
one hospital with uniformly correct diagnosis. 

The hospital staf hav been in a hyper-critical frame of 
mind, so I hav taken an independent attitude, diagnosing case 
after case in my own work in the presence of the hospital 
attendants, and occasionally in the presence of a staf of visit- 
ing physicians. The result is that my work has becum the 
subject of daily discussion of groups of physicians at the 
hospital. The secretary of the staf has informd me that they 
ar all greatly interested becaus the hospital records sho that 
the B-D-C tests ar working out successfully. 

It wil interest yu to kno that the pathologist of the staf, 
who opposed the B-D-C work most strenuously, said he saw 
me make an examination and that he doesn't kno how I 

one hundred seventy-seven 



arrived at the diagnosis. However, he later confirmed the 
diagnosis microscopically, which diagnosis was subsequently 
confirmd also in the Mayo Clinic. They all agree that the 
sistem is almost incredibl, but nevertheless appears to be 
right. 

I hear that some of those having your outfits ar refusing 
even ten times the amount they paid for them becaus they wil 
not allow them to be out of their sight nor take a chance in 
getting another. 

N-62 

Dear Doctor White : 

I hav had the best season's work that I hav had in all my 
years of practis. I owe a great deal of this great success in 
my work to the valuabl points I lernd from your Lecture 
Course. 

I am glad yu ar getting along so wel, for yu certainly deserv 
unlimited success. One thing stands out prominently with yu 
and that is yu hav never stinted your information to others, 
but hav given the best there is in yu to your fello practitioners. 

I am now using almost exclusivly your B-D-C method of 
diagnosis and therapy, and am having very good results. 

N-63 

My dear Doctor White: 

It is about a year since I took your Lecture Course. I want 
yu to kno that I consider your work not only deeply inter- 
esting but of great value. I am of the opinion that it should 
be given a hearing by every progressiv physician. I feel con- 
vinst that time wil bring ever wider recognition to the dis- 
coveries yu hav made and the truths yu ar working so inde- 
fatigably to demonstrate. 

With all good wishes for your continued success to deal 
with human ils in the light of sientific reserch rather than 
folio the old paths markt out by the superstition of bygone 
ages, I beg to remain, 

Your appreciativ pupil. 

N-68 

Dear Doctor White: 

This is to remind yu that I was a member of your 1917 
clas in Chicago. To tel yu that I am grateful to yu for what 

one hundred seventy-eight 



yu taut me regarding the B-D-C method of diagnosis and 
treatment is putting it extremely mild. The satisfaction and 
plesure I get in making diagnosis by your method I cannot 
begin to tel, and I kno I hav just begun. 

I am getting fine results. I hav diagnosed cases of cancer 
of the rectum and stoma c, several cases of sifilis and gonorrea, 
and cases of tuberculosis of the kidny and lungs. I hav made 
many diagnosis of liver toxemias, grip infection, etc. All my 
findings hav been proved to be true by time or other methods. 
Is it any wonder, Doctor, that I am enthusiastic? 

N-69 

My dear Doctor White: 

I feel it is a duty I owe yu to tel yu how much I apreciate 
what yu hav done for me. 

Since first taking your Lecture Course a new world has 
opend up to me in medicin — the fisical side of "medicin.'* 

Since taking your Lecture Course the second time, the new 
world is newer and I am sorry that so many years of my life 
hav been spent in plodding along in the old rut. I thank God 
tho that I am abl to apreciate and put into practis what yu 
hav taut me. 

Your method of air-colum percussion givs me a way of 
diagnosing Splancnic Insufficiency in many cases that I could 
not possibly diagnose in any other manner. 

Many cases of asthma I hav been abl to rehev by simply 
diagnosing the splancnoptosis and relieving that. Every case 
of asthma that I hav is suffering from splancnic insufficiency. 
After aplying a suitabl support I hav been abl to reliev the 
asthmatic condition. 

I am having great success with the pov/erful incandescent 
lamp and oxigen-vapor therapy. 

I often find splancnic insufficiency in thin persons as wel 
as in fleshy persons. 

The B-D-C method of diagnosis is giving me splendid 
results, as is also the Pulsoidal Therapy. 

In old, cronic reumatic conditions I am getting marvelus 
results by treating with the Pulsoidal Current thru dishes of 
water as taut by yu. 

For Albuminuria I am using spinal stimulation and the 
powerful incandescent lamp as wel as oxigen-vapor therapy, 
and get splendid results. 

one hundred seventy-nine 



For Diabetes I am having unexpectedly good results by 
using the same methods, modified to suit the individual. 

N-64 

Dear Doctor White: 

For the past four years I hav been using your B-D-C 
method for diagnosis every day in my work, and am now more 
enthusiastic over it than ever. 

N-65 

My dear Doctor White : 

As one of your pupils of four years ago, I wish to send 
greetings and good wishes to yu and yours. From years of 
experience with your work, I can say that I would not be 
without the knoledge of your Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Method 
of Diagnosis for anything in the world, for it is thru that 
sistem that we can talk in positiv terms when making a 
diagnosis. 

Your Condenst Out-of-Doors Sistem of Therapeutics is 
sure to lead all others as time goes by. 

N-66 

Dear Doctor White : 

I am doing more and more of your work constantly, and 
am likewize becumming more enthusiastic in it. The time wil 
soon cum in my practis when I wil attempt no diagnosis nor 
treatment of any case unless they ar willing to be tested out 
by your Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method. 

As a good deal of my work is general practis, I am now 
diagnosing cases by the B-D-C method and referring to my 
own offis for treatment by my assistant. I then re-examin 
them every two or three weeks. I hav to do this as I am so 
busy with general practis, which I intend soon to giv up and 
devote all my time to offis practis. 

N-67 

My dear Doctor White: 

Nothing can afford me greater plesure than to be abl to 
tel yu that in the short time since I took your course in 
Chicago I hav been exceptionally successful with your B-D-C 
method of diagnosis. 

I certainly hav some of the "moss backs" here showd up. 
Within the last two weeks I hav made six diagnoses at the 

one hundred eighty 



hospital, three of them giving the D-MM VR (gonorrea). 
Out of the latter three, two had been diagnosed as having 
appendicitis. Operation proved my B-D-C diagnosis to be 
correct. 

My practis has grown so much on account of this work that 
I am alredy compeld to enlarge my quarters and put in more 
parafernalia. 

N-73 

My dear Doctor White : 

I want to tel yu of my personal experience with your won- 
derful Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of Diagnosis and 
Treatment, together with the very many other suggestions 
that I got from yu when I took your course five or six years 
ago. I was looking for some new things and I surely got them. 

Soon after I took your course a yung doctor came in and 
I showd him your methods, at which he laft about the ''non- 
sense" that I was constantly getting into. The upshot of it 
was that I made a diagnosis of him and found he gave a 
normal MM VR. A few days later he came in and said he 
was interested in the work and wanted me to go over him 
again. I thot this rather peculiar but went ahed anyway, and 
found that he gave a decided gonorreal reflex. However, he 
said that he had not been exposed to the diseas. A week or so 
later he came in and said he had a fully developt case of 
gonorrea, and that he had been "exposed" about fifteen hours 
before I made the diagnosis in which he gave the gonorreal 
MM VR. 

Persistent "colds" hav been cured in many cases when it 
was found by the B-D-C method that the real caus of the con- 
dition was not a cold but tuberculosis. 

I find malaria a very frequent caus of sistemic disturbances 
which do not respond to treatment. From your method of 
diagnosis and treatment, however, cures can be made which 
seem almost like miracls. 

My experience with your B-D-C method of diagnosis is 
that sifilis is very frequent, but not nearly so common as 
medical literature and the "Wassermann reaction" would seem 
to indicate. 

I hav found the cancer reaction positiv in quite a number 
of obscure cases where it was only gest at by the ordinary 
methods of diagnosis. On the other hand, I might ad that I

hav faild to find it in quite a number of cases where the 
"orthodox" diagnosis was practically positiv, and the patients 
had been advized that an operation would be necessary to save 
their lives. Several of these cases ar alive and wel today 
without any surgical interference — cured by your Condenst 
Out-of-Doors sistem. 

I am very much interested to find the malaria reaction so 
common and the correction of it of such curativ value. With- 
out the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic , method of diagnosis, one 
would be quite unabl to direct the proper treatment. 

In short, Dr. White, I am just a pure, simpl, plain, and 
unadulterated enthusiast when it cums to your B-D-C work. 
I could rite a volume on the interesting cases of diagnosis by 
your sistem. The case of tuberculosis of the spine that I rote 
yu about two years ago, stil continues^ wel — cured by your 
Condenst Out-of-Doors method of treatment. 

N-70 

Dear Doctor White: 

I certainly could not get along without your Bio-Dynamo- 
Chromatic Method of Diagnosis, which I am using in prac- 
tically every case that cums to me. 

I am just finishing remodeling my offises to take in the 
entire suite of rooms, so I wil hav more space to take care 
of my rapidly growing practis, thanks to your B-D-C method. 

N-71 

Dear Doctor White : 

Your B-D-C method of diagnosis is one of the greatest 
discoveries of the age. I hav pounded my fingers until I hav 
"corns on them," and this wil stand as Exhibit A, in evidence 
of the fact that I hav made use of your methods. 

I believ that no patient was ever cured unless something 
wer done to establish a Normal-MM VR. One physician does 
it one way and another in another, but by means of the B-D-C 
method of diagnosis one can tel whether the method he is 
using is the correct one, and whether the patient is cured 
or not. 

Dear Doctor White : 

It is now five years since I took your course and began to 
use the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic sistem of diagnosis and Con- 

one hundred eighty-two 



denst Out-of-Doors Therapy. Some time ago three women 
came many miles to me for a diagnosis and advice, each having 
been told by the best physicians in their respectiv cities that 
they had cancer. According to your B-D-C method of diag- 
nosis, I told them they had nothing to fear. Time has proved 
that my diagnosis was correct, as all signs of the growths 
hav disappeard. 

There is an independence that cums to one who uses your 
methods of diagnosis and treatment that cannot to my kno- 
ledge be obtaind from any other source. 

If all physicians who want to aid humanity would cum out 
boldly and be independent as yu hav been in this work, they 
would hav to turn away patients the same as we ar abl to 
do now, as our work has increast so becaus of these methods 
that we cannot take care of them. 

N-75 

The folloing letter is from a wel known physician who was 
injured in an automobile accident. He was told by the leading 
surgeons of the United States that his thigh must either be 
amputated or be made stif. He came to me from the East in 
the spring of 1916, contrary to the advice of the surgeons. 

I treated him by means of the powerful lights, oxigen vapor, 
and diet, for about three months. Notis that the date of his 
letter is 

, Oct. 6, 1919. 

My dear Doctor White : 

I am happy to tel yu that I get around with the assistance 
of a cane, and hav only a slight Hmp. There is no soreness or 
pain in my hip and in fact I am nearly my old self again. I 
am better than I ever thot it possibl and. Doctor, my family 
and I giv yu all the credit of getting me started right and 
advizing me as to the right course to folio. 

In my present fine condition, the thots of only one leg or 
a stif hip make me shudder. Yu cannot wonder that I am 
in a very happy frame of mind at the present time. 

Besides this, I hav workt harder and hav done more business 
and made more mony this year than in any previus year. 

I may cum out to Los Angeles to see yu this winter. 

Your book on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency was recievd 
in due time and I very much apreciate it. It is gotten up in 

one hundred eighty-three 



fine shape and is up to the minit on treatment of these diseases. 
It is ful of valuabl information and should be red and studied 
by every practitioner who has the welfare of his patients 
at hart. 

(Note — He did cum out to Los Angeles and he "danced 
a jig" for me to sho how wel he was.) 

N-36 

Dear Doctor White: 

I hav just finisht reading your Lecture Course to Physi- 
cians, Seventh Edition, and your book on Prostatic Diseas 
and Impotency. To say that the books wer wonderfully 
interesting would be putting it too mildly. 

While I hav always realized that I did not kno it all, your 
books made me realize how much I did not kno about a 
subject that I hav been specializing in for years, namely, 
Physical Therapeutics or Nature Cure. 

N-37 

The Seventh Edition of your Lecture Course to Physicians 
has been recievd. I am taking deep drafts from it nite and 
day. To say that it is interesting does not express it. 

I just wanted to say a few words to tel yu that I consider 
the book wonderful, and the more I delv into the work that yu 
so grafically depict, the more I find it is true. 

N-38 

Dear Doctor White: 

Your book entitld, "Lecture Course to Physicians, Seventh 
Edition," has been a constant source of instruction to me, and 
I hope one day to meet the author face to face. 

N-39 

Dear Doctor White : 

I hav recievd your book entitld, "Lecture Course to Physi- 
cians, Seventh Edition," and so far, altho I hav red only a 
small fraction of its contents, would state that I would not 
take a great many times the price I paid for it if I could not 
get another one. 

N-74 

The professor who rote this letter is a man wel known 
in the medical profession and altho he was a surgeon, he 

one hundred eighty-four 



has given it up almost entirely and is devoting all his time to 
Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Diagnosis. I hav never met him as 
he has lernd my work entirely from my Seventh Edition 
Lecture Course to Physicians. Extracts from his letter ar 
as follows: 

My dear Doctor White: 

I hav found it impossibl to get away the latter part of 
May to take your private course as I anticipated, owing to 
the pres of business and a Court case where I hav to appear 
as witness. I am very eager to make the trip to Los Angeles 
as soon as I can get away. 

I talkt over an hour and a half before the meeting of our 
large County Medical Society last Wednesday on your Bio- 
Dynamo-Chromatic Method of Diagnosis. The meeting was 
very wel attended and I certainly never saw a more interested 
bunch of medical men. It was a revelation to those who had 
not herd of your B-D-C method. 

Very fortunately there w^er in the meeting about half a 
dozen physicians who had previusly seen me diagnose by your 
method, and they supported me in the discussions. The dis- 
cussions and questions continued for one hour after my talk, 
which showd the profound interest. Before the close of the 
meeting the society voted to hav rpe repeat my talk at the 
meeting of the State Society in August. 

Yesterday Dr brot me a case for B-D-C diagnosis. 

This case had baffld the very best men in the large university 
as wel as in our State. Without one word of history or 
information of any kind whatsoever, I made a diagnosis by 
the B-D-C method of influenza, and conducted the influenza 
energy from both tonsils; and also of sifilis. I also conducted 
the sifilitic energy from the lower dorsal spine and from 
the liver. 

After I had announst my diagnosis, the doctor who brot 
the case told me the patient had influenza last January and 
that he himself had treated him for a chancre on his penis 
twenty years ago, and that his paramount trubl at the present 
time was nocturnal angina. The physician was entirely satis- 
fied with my diagnosis and said he knew that it was correct 
and he would hav to admit that it was the most remarkabl 
demonstration that he had ever witnest. 

one hundred eighty-jive 



Alredy I hav many appointments to make B-D-C tests for 
the physicians who wer present at the big medical meeting. 

I hav been stedily working at our largest hospital, and hav 
calld in many of the several doctors to witness some of the 
most intricate and obscure cases. I might say with no littl 
personal pride, as wel as compliments to yu, that every B-D-C 
test that I hav made has been confirmd in some other manner, 
either by time, operation or autopsy. 

I hav been proceding very cautiously becaus when I take 
a stand I want to kno that I am right. The only fault I hav 
to find with the B-D-C work is that it has increast my business 
way beyond my control and endurance. Altho I hav been 
obliged to enlarge my offis space three times within the last 
two years, and hav added assistants to help me out, yet with 
all these additional facilities I am unabl to keep up with the 
large patronage that is now cumming my way — all owing to 
your wonderful sistem of diagnosis." 

N-40 

My dear Doctor White : 

Wel, I hav just finisht your great book — the Seventh Edition 
of your Lecture Course to Physicians, and I must say it 
caps the climax for any book on medical literature that I hav 
red, and I hav red everything progressiv that I could find. Yu 
can count on seeing me in Los Angeles within the next six 
months to take a private course with yu. 

N-41 

De^r Doctor White: 

Your books recievd and I hav practically neglected every- 
thing else to devote the best part of three days to studying 
them. Altho yu ar stil a yung man, it would be hard for any 
ordinary man of seventy to accomplish what yu hav. If I w^er 
just commencing the roll of my fifty years' practis insted of 
being at its end, I would take up your sistem of therapeutics 
and sit at Gamaliel's feet like St. Paul until I had becum 
saturated with his teachings. 

I am taking as much interest as ever in the work of "path 
finders" who ar blazing out new trails for future processions. 
It is to be regretted that their genius is never fully recognized 
until they hav past on. 

one hundred eighty-six 



Yu certainly hav the right, commonsense idea of treating 
prostatic diseas. I behev it is the only known successful 
method for prostatitis and prostatic hypertrofy. 

N-42 

Dear Doctor White : 

I am privileged to be the possessor of the Seventh Edition 
of your Lecture Course to Physicians. This remarkabl book 
has been a constant source of interest and instruction to me 
for some time. I do not see how any progressiv physician 
would be without one. 

N-46 

My dear Doctor White : 

For weeks I hav been devoting hours of study to your 
two valuabl books, "The Seventh Edition Lecture Course to 
Physicians," and "Prostatic Diseas and Impotency." 

It would be difficult for me to advize which one should be 
red first, as both contain so much valuabl and unexpected 
information. Any physician or student of helth who wil not 
be benefitted indirectly, sychically and morally by reading these 
books is il and needs treatment. 

I hav red many books on helth and hav ritten one myself, 
and I can say that I do not remember any as being ritten in a 
more comprehensiv, instructiv, and interesting style than your 
two books. ' 

No physician's library is complete without them. They 
should be in the home of every progressiv thinker and liberty 
loving person in America. 

N-43 

Pear Doctor White: 

Yu ought to kno, my dear Doctor, that I am sitting up nites 
reading and studying your two books — the Lecture Course 
to Physicians and the book on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency. 
I think these two books ar wonderful, and I am cumming to 
Los Angeles to take a special course with yu and lern this 
work from the ground up. 

N-44 

Dear Doctor : 

I hav red your two great books, the Seventh Edition Lec- 
ture Course to Physicians and the book on Prostatic Diseas. 

one hundred eighty-seven 



I must say that yu hav done a great deal for the peopl of the 
world in getting out these two masterpieces. The medical 
profession especially should thank yu for what yu hav done. 

N-45 

Just a word to tel yu that I hav just finisht reading Dr. 
White's most wonderful works — the Seventh Edition Lecture 
Course to Physicians, and Prostatic Diseas and Impotency. 
He certainly must be a man of patience, endurance, knoledge, 
and a lover of truth to be abl to rite as he does. 

N-4 

Dear Doctor White: 

Your new book on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency has 
been recievd and red from cover to cover. The book is surely 
a beauty and I congratulate yu upon your taste in design, 
type, paper and spelling. 

No one knows better than I do the soundness of the logic 
put forth in this book. It was thru treatments such as out- 
lined in this book that I regaind my helth and am now a wel 
man. To say that I feel grateful for what the teachings of 
this book hav done for me, puts it mildly. 

May each year ad to your alredy wel-deservd laurels. 

N-5 

Dear Doctor White: 

Your new book on Prostatic and related troubls came in 
due time, and I must say I hav found it very interesting and 
instructiv. 

Your methods ar so far out of the beaten path, yet ar so 
logical and productiv of complete cures that it marks a new 
epoc in the successful treatment of this very refractory clas 
of cases, and places them at once within the professional limits 
of every physician who properly equips himself for treating 
such cases. 

I intend soon cumming to Los Angeles to take another 
private course with yu. 

N-9 

Dear Doctor White : 

Your new book on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency is a 
most remarkabl book, and I am more fascinated with it the 

one hundred eighty-eight 



more I read it. It covers a vast and important field of offis 
work, much of which I see almost every day. 

As I becum more familiar with the many practical methods 
which yu hav very ingeniusly devized and perfected, the more 
clearly am I convinst that it is far ahed of most physicians* 
qualifications and equipments. I shal therefore not feel satis- 
fied until I hav taken a private course with yu. I should cer- 
tainly advize every progressiv physician to do the same. 

N-io 

Dear Doctor White : 

Your book on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency has been 
recievd and red. That I hav greatly enjoyd and profited by 
the reading goes without saying. I need not tel yu that your 
emfatic treatment of the question at issue, as wel as the critic- 
isms of those who presume to deal with that and similar prob- 
lems, suit me to a "T." 

N-6 

My dear Doctor White: 

I hav just finisht reading your book on Prostatic Diseas 
and Impotency. I hav red it with much satisfaction indeed. 
I like the clear way in which yu describe your tecnic. I am 
now studying the Seventh Edition of your Lecture Course 
to Physicians and expect to complete it before I reach Los 
Angeles for a private course with yu. 

N-7 

My dear Doctor White : 

Yu ar doing a great work. As I see it, your only handicap 
is that the work is far and away ahed of the apreciation of the 
average intelHgence.

As a dietician of many years of experience, I can say that 
George Starr White, M.D., has in his books many valuabl 
and helpful suggestions about the dietetic treatment of the 
diseases discust. Dr. White is one of the few physicians who 
has dared to advance along these lines for the great benefit 
of their patients. This feature makes his ritings all the more 
valuabl. 

Dietetics is the fundamental subject to be taken into con- 
sideration in every diseas, and Dr. White fully realizes it. 

one hundred eighty-nine 



It is for that reason that he has devoted so much space in his 
ritings to dietetics. His books ar ful of very useful and helpful 
advice that every conscientious physician ought to folio if he 
wishes to obtain the same brilliant results as Dr. White and 
his pupils. 

N-22 

Dear Doctor White : 

Pleas pardon me for my expression, but the word I want 
to use, after having red your new book on Prostatic Diseas 
is what a "wizard." I had scarcely red a dozen pages when 
in came a man of fifty, bending over and saying, "My, my, it 
is nearly killing me." "I hav not past a drop of water today." 
On inquiry, he said that an old stricture that he had sufferd 
from for years hurt him so that he could not be catheterized. 

I immediately took him in the treatment room, tilted the 
tabl as described in your unique book, turnd the 3,000 c.p. lamp 
on his perineum, put a urinal by the side of the tabl, set my 
timer at fifteen minits, and left the room. On returning fifteen 
minits later, he said that with a sudden gush his urin started 
to flp, and he had a ful quart to sho me for the effort. 

Now, Doctor, after twenty years of efforts with all kinds 
of catheters and many disappointing experiences, I think this 
is the slickest work yet. I sent word "down the line" to many 
of my "prostatics" whom I had formerly treated and could 
not help, and they ar now lining up and taking their turn 
at the treatment, and apreciating it hugely. 

Doctor, I thank yu for what this book is doing for me, and 
the many good things in store from it. 

N-i 

Dear Doctor White : 

I hav red your book on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency. 
It is one of the most sensibl books on the subject that I hav 
ever red, and I try to keep in tuch with everything progressiv 
in medicin. 

N-2 

My dear Doctor White : 

Your book "Prostatic Diseas and Impotency" came O.K. 
I want to say that I congratulate yu on your good work and its 

one hundred ninety 



originality. Some day I certainly hope to hav the great 
plesure of meeting yu face to face. 

I am very much interested in your methods and especially 
in your Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diagnosis. 

N-3 

My dear Doctor White: 

I hav red your work on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency 
very carefully, and hav re-red many sections so as to firmly 
fix in my mind the many valuabl and original truths therein 
containd. I am every day using your methods with the very 
best success, and try in every way I can to improve on them, 
but I find it a very difficult thing to do. 

I surely can recommend the work to every physician. It 
cannot help but broaden his ideas and wil make him a better 
physician. It wil help him to diagnose where he previusly 
faild in diagnosis. In other words, it wil help him to help 
suffering humanity. 

N-ii 

Dear Doctor White: 

I hav studied your book on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency 
and think it is very fine. Your work has certainly been a 
wonderful help to me, and it has made me much more suc- 
cessful in aiding suffering humanity than anything else I 
hav ever had. I shal soon want to cum and take a private 
course with yu at Los Angeles. 

I am having wonderful success in treating all stages of 
sifilis. So far I find that I can obtain a normal reaction from 
a patient within twelv weeks of treatment, whether the case 
be primary, secondary, or tertiary. 

N-J2 

I hav been very busy lately studying Dr. George Starr 
White's book on New and Original Methods for the treatment 
of Prostatic Diseas and Impotency. I tel yu the book is a 
wonder. It outclasses everything that I hav ever red or 
herd of. 

The methods described and illustrated in Dr. White's 
Lecture Course to Physicians, Seventh Edition, we ar having 

one hundred ninety-one 



wonderful success with. We ar using them daily and get most 
magical results. 

The caus of aiding humanity is obligated to Dr. White in 
such proportions that its det of gratitude cannot be liquidated 
for several generations to cum. 

N-13 

Dear Doctor White : 

I hav red your book on Prostatic Diseas thru from cover 
to cover with great plesure and profit to myself, and the knol- 
edge gaind I am sure I can use for the benefit of my patients 
in the future. Your method of treating with the Pulsoidal 
Current and Light is admirabl — the powerful lights relieving 
congestion and the pulsoidal current developing the muscular 
structures in and around the prostate and bladder. I am in- 
deed glad to see that yu hav taken up the question of dietetics 
in such a reasonabl manner, for the public has gon crazy over 
"calories," "vitamins," etc. 

Experience has taut me that thru diet we hav a means of 
at least preventing cancer, if not curing it. Altho so littl is 
known of the caus of cancer, yet this fact stands out in the 
limelight — the higher the "civilization," the more cancers. 

Becaus of my own work along the lines of dietetics, I am 
all the more gratified to read your terse remarks on this 
subject. 

I shal indeed be glad when the time cums when I can 
take a private course with yu in Los Angeles. 

N-17 

Dear Doctor White: 

I hav red your wonderful book on Prostatic Diseas and 
Impotency thru several times, and can say with great satisfac- 
tion that the mony paid for it has been very wel invested. 

I am now ordering the Seventh Edition of your Lecture 
Course to Physicians.

gotten very much valuabl information therefrom. 

N-20 

Dear Doctor White : 

I hav been greatly interested in studying your Prostatic 
book. It is extremely interesting, and the diet as outlined is 
the most rational of anything that I hav ever red. I hav 
carrid out the directions outlined in your book for my own 
self and am getting better just by folloing out the rational 
advice given without any other treatments whatever. 

N-14 

Dear Doctor White : 

I hav red your book on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency

I took your course five years ago. I hav found your method

it more and more. 

N-15 

My dear Doctor White: 

Among the many aids to humanity that I hav lernd from 
the Seventh Edition, Lecture Course to Physicians, is pressure 
therapy. We ar having wonderful success with it, and so far 
hav hardly ever faild in relieving pain when carrying out the 
work as yu so wel depicted it in your book. 

Pleas get redy for me everything yu hav for B-D-C diag- 
nosis and therapy. I hope to be with yu soon to take a private 
course in your work. 

N-16 

My dear Doctor White: 

I hav red your new book on new and original methods for 
the treatment of Prostatic Diseas and Impotency. This book 
is surely a "cracker jack." The many cOmmonsense methods 
presented, the reasonabl instructions given, and the easy 
possibl utilization of these things wil certainly bring comfort, 
help and healing to the afflicted. 

one hundred ninety-three 



The illustrations, paper, printing, binding, and appearance 
wil all ad to the interest and plesure of the reader. The 
book is destind to hav a large sale and a wide influence, and 
it wil do a vast amount of good to those who need help if 
they wil folio instructions. 

There ar many things presented which wil be of untold 
value to those who wil try them out, and the splendid results 
wil make those persons your frends everlastingly. 

N-2I 

Dear Doctor White: 

I hav red your book on Prostatic Diseas and Impotency 
and hav been amazed over how many profound,, almost 
revolutionary, facts can find expression in a language so un- 
assuming and simpl that a layman can not only grasp it, but 
he can aply it to his condition. Personally I hav lernd more 
in perusing that magnificent work than in thrashing thru all 
the clinical reports and laboratory experimentation during my 
entire practis as a physician. 

Another thing that I could not help notising is your rediness 
to giv credit to every person who in any way has been of 
any value or servis to the true art and sience of healing. The 
great man is he who in his pursuit of truth forgets himself. 

As I go over again and again the tecnic of cure as outlined 
in your book, the fact masters me, that all the treatments 
hitherto carrid on by "medical sience" in the cure of gonorrea 
and sifilis hav amounted to a mere juggling with accepted, 
but unproven standards, with no certainty of plan, and no 
therapeutic prospectiv for its tecnic. I do not kno to what 
extent the world honors yu at present, but I do kno the future 
belongs to yu and your recognition — / mean your ful recogni- 
tion is cumming. 

Your entire book bears the mark of being ritten in the 
white glo of bristling activity, suffused by the conviction of 
triumfant siiccess. 

N-23 

Dear Doctor White : 

I am in reciet of your good book on Prostatic Diseas, etc., 
and am astonisht at once at finding the amount of information 
that it contains and the striking and artistic equipment of the 

one hundred ninety-four 



book itself. I hav this very moment made up my mind to 
keep a "niche of fame" in my Hbrary for every one of the 
books yu hav so far publisht and that yu wil publish. I find 
it almost incredibl when I compare your youthful, unrinkld, 
boyish face with the mas of hevy, powerful volumes yu hav 
publisht with such an intense, concentrated activity. What a 
tremendus force for good and general usefulness yu hav at 
your disposal! 

With sincere apreciation I wish yu a long life. 

N-76 

Dear Doctor White: 

I am more and more pleasd with your Metronomic Inter- 
rupter. In prostatic diseas it is a grateful surprize. It is fine 
for some cases of asthma, aplied over the 7th cervical and 
about the 6th br 7th thoracic when putting a bifurcated cord 
in the hands. 

I cured a case of hiccofs on myself a few days ago with it. 
May your good work go on. 

N-75 

My dear Doctor White: 

I certainly am interested in your method of diagnosis and 
treatment. I must say that the treatment that yu outline in 
your book on Prostatic Diseas for prostatic trubl and gonorrea 
is the best I hav ever tried for both men and women. I am 
studying your books every nite and want anything new that 
yu may rite. 

Krotona Institute of Theosophy, Los Angeles, Calif. 

December i, 1919. 
Dear Doctor White : 

I hav ritten yua letter regarding my opinion of your dis- 
coveries, from the standpoint of a physician and student of 
sience. In this note I wish to say a few words from an entirely 
different angl — that of the Occultist. 

As a National Lecturer for the Theosophical Society, it has 
been my endevor to prove by laboratory and lecture experi- 
ments that "The Occult Science of today wil be the Orthodox 
Science of the future." 

I hav found it difficult to present this thesis in an acceptabl 
manner to members of the Scientific Faculties of varius 

one hundred ninety-five 



Universities, owing to the paucity of material of a demonstrabl 
nature. 

I hav found the greatest assistance in your varius methods 
of demonstrating certain fenomena of the Aura, which ar 
generally calld "superfisical" (using the term in the popular, 
and not in the occult sense). 

Your attitude in keeping "your feet firmly planted upon the 
erth," demonstrating all facts obtaind thru your supernormal 
perceptiv powers by purely fisical-plane methods, reveals not 
only a wize discrimination, but has undoutedly greatly enhanst 
the practical value of your work. 

In a few years, when your discoveries ar generally accepted 
and recognized by sientists and physicians, I venture to hope 
that yu wil giv to the world some of the knoledge which yu 
hav acquired by "occult" or "superfisical" methods. I recognize 
that the time is perhaps not yet ripe for such revelations, but 
I also recognize that yu wil hav much to giv the world from 
this standpoint when the proper time arrives. 
Fraternally yours, 

Frederick Finch Strong, M.D., 
Acting Dean, Krotona Institute. 

J. E. Johnston, M.D., Pittsburg, Pa., in a very abl paper 
entitld, ''Our Birthright/' red before the Central Society of 
Physical Therapeutists, October, 1919, said: 

"During the past year a yung girl about five years old 
was brot to me for diagnosis and if necessary for treatment. 
Several specialists had treated her for curvature of the spine. 

"After putting her thru the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Diag- 
nosis, a tubercular condition was redily found. The treatment 
consisted in B-D-C Therapy and tension. After about six 
months the spine straitend and the constitutional condition 
was so improved that treatment was discontinued for the

George Starr White, M.D., F.S.Sc.Lond., the eminent 
physician of Los Angeles, California, the author of that epoc- 
making masterpiece, **A Lecture Course to Physicians," has 
recently given to the world another excellent book, "Prostatic 
Diseas and Impotency, New and Original Methods of Treat- 
ment.'' It ought to occupy a permanent place in the library 
of every progressiv physician, regardless of cult, creed or sex. 

The volume is a gem of the printers' art, splendidly and 
lavishly illustrated, elegantly bound, and contains many pages 
brim ful of original and helpful suggestions that ar cheap at 
a dollar a word. 

Having red it several times, I recommend it most hartily 
to all those who ar looking for something not only new and 
original but also practical — it having been tested for results 
by many years of clinical experience.

''Diagnoses by Means of Colord Lights" 

Was it Solomon or Bucephalus that said: "Of the making 
of books there is no end?" Implying thereby that book-riting 
was not enthusiastically endorst by these worthies. 

On general principls I'm strong for this sentiment. But 
every once in a while someone cums along and says some- 
thing — something big and vital — something that ads to the 
world's store of knoledge, that increases human helth and 
happiness, that brings a message of cheer and hope to thous- 
ands who need all these things.

Such a book is "A Lecture Course to Physicians," ritten by 
my frend, Dr. George Starr White, who just commences to 
begin where most doctors leav off lerning. 

Dr. White is a vizionary who has made his vizion a reaUty. 
He's an ideahst who has made his ideal practical. 

For Dr. White has made a score of wonderful ideas gro 
where before there was only a barren patch of ignorance. His 
work is an oasis in a desert of reactionism and bigotry. 

Dr. White has discoverd a method of mesuring vibration, so 
accurate that it needs only that he ad the mesurd vibrations of 
colord lights to the number of vibrations of a sick body in 
order to tel exactly what it is that is causing the sickness in 
that body. 

Tuberculosis, cancer, sifilis, gonorrea, malaria, and a score 
of other infections, can by this method be diagnosed in their 
erliest incipiency — sometimes years before their presence is 
disclosed by any other known method. 

Not only can they be determind but they can also be cured 
— ^by a modification of the process that disclosed them, to- 
gether with apropriate adjunct treatment. 

Any intelligent physician, who wil train himself in this new 
tecnic, can do almost as wel as Dr. White, altho, in my opinion 
the methods ar not likely to becum popular for some time. 
Dr. White isn't ded enuf yet. 

The "Lecture Course to Physicians" is a book that efficient 
doctors will read and work with — a book that wil harten and 
help laymen. Especially if they hav or expect to hav anything 
the matter with them that hasn't or won't be cured by present 
antiquated methods. Edwin F. Bowers, M.D.

Dear Doctor White: 

Wel, Doctor, I hav the leading physicians of this city gessing. 
Last winter the editor of our State Medical Journal took me 
to task becaus I was using your Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic 
method. I came back at him with a letter plainly stating that 
whatever I do and whatever I say, I understand, and while I 
do not pretend to kno it all, yet when I make a claim for 
anything, I am fully abl to back it up "with the goods." 

I w;as at that time not redy to make any public clinical 
demonstration, so allowd the controversy to pas by — advizing 
him. to fully inform himself regarding the B-D-C sistem before 
criticizing me or anybody else about work concerning which 
he knew nothing. 

Our entire correspondence, including his apology, was 
publisht in the State Medical Journal. That controversy opend 
the fight in this State. 

I next got a letter from the ex-President of our State Medi- 
cal Society and President of the Board of Councilors of our 
State Medical Society, notifying me that I must at once repu- 
diate B-D-C work or resign from the State Medical Socity. 
In my reply I stated plainly that becaus of my knoledge of 
fisics and my knoledge of the B-D-C work, I was convinst 
that the principls on which the B-D-C work was based wer 
absolutely correct, and furthermore that the B-D-C sistem 
afforded a very valuabl means of diagnosis. I defied them to 
expel me from the society, and I would hav brot suit for 
damages at once had they done so. The President of the 
Council came back with a letter of apology, which closed the 
incident for the time being. 

In this city many of the leading physicians went on record 
violently denouncing the B-D-C sistem, altho they knew abso- 
lutely nothing regarding it. I went right on with the work 
in my own practis, demonstrating the correct screen diagnosis 

two hundred one 



in case after case, and astounding physician after physician, 
until now the staf of St. Joseph's Hospital has askt me to 
make a demonstration for them, and the Dean of the Medical 

Department of University has askt for a demonstration 

before the University authorities. I hav them gessing and 
soon I am going to hav the plesure of forcing it on to those 
officials of the State Medical Society who wer so "cocky" as 
to demand my resignation, which they did not get. 

Just this afternoon I diagnosed one case of tonsilitis and 

one of epilepsy for Dr. at , with the screens, and 

both cases wer found to be correct, tho not a word was told 
me until the screen diagnosis had been made. 

My routine is to use the screen test without asking the 
patient a question except his name and address. If I find 
the patient has an abnormal reflex (MM VR), and I am abl 
to cover the condition with such screens as I hav, I tel the 
patient the simptoms and his diagnosis. 

Nothing that I hav been abl to do in medicin has made so 
much of an impression on the patient as my conclusions from 
the screen test, and it is universally correct, becaus I do not 
say I kno unless I kno I am right. My next step is to examin 
for mecanical and functional disturbances in the case. 

I kno from your book that yu mention the fact that yu 
can make all diagnoses without asking the patient a question, 
and that the sistem is infallibl as gravitation. I could not 
believ this, however, until I had tried the work out myself, 
and am now convinst that what yu say is correct. 

There is something new and interesting cumming up in this 
work every day. I wish to thank you for the suggestions and 
trubl and time which yu hav given me to solv some of my 
littl perplexities in handling this work, owing, I think, to 
the fact that I hav never taken your personal course, but hav 
lernd your work entirely from studying your book. 

I fully agree with yu that the principl of recognizing abnor- 
mal conditions by observing the energy vibrations is correct. 
That is a fisical proposition which no human being can alter. 
Like all fisical law, it is constant. Combining certain fisical 
principls into a fisical equation wil always giv the same fisical 
result. Having convinst myself of the infallibility of those 
fisical laws, I realize that it is up to the physician to recognize 

two hundred two 



and identify the varius principls of the fisical equation which 
givs us the perverted function. Disturbd function introduces 
a new principl into the normal, human equation, and to that 
extent, however sHght, the member on the opposit side of the 
equation is diseasd — disturbd functional balance. I think that 
•sums up the whole problem. 

Nothing that I hav found has done so much to determin 
the disturbing members of the equation as the use of your 
Bio-Dynatno-Chromatic screens normalizing the abnormal 
energy. 

I hav plesure in demonstrating your B-D-C work to 
physicians who are the most antagonistic. They do not bother 
me at all. I like to sho the fello who is the most radically 
antagonistic. It is now real fun for me. I go very carefully, 
and when I get thru with him he has nothing to say. It is 
simply way beyond them, and the more they say, the more 
they hav to take back. 

I hav absolute confidence in the B-D-C work and also in 
myself as far as I can go, and I go only as far as I under- 
stand. As my work is mostly that of a consulting surgeon 
and operator, I hav an opportunity to kno, whether the B-D-C 
diagnosis be correct or not. I hav had the opportunity to look 
into the body and see enuf times to make me feel that the 
Chromatic Screens ar absolutely reliabl. 

The Chromatic Screens make my diagnoses more correct 
becaus they enabl me to get at conditions that I cannot possibly 
find by any other method, and conditions which wer possibly 
not even suspected in the case ar brot to light. This greatly 
simplifies my work. 

I want all the information that I can get, and am spending 
much time in perfecting my tecnic and overcumming some of 
the littl apparent complications. Yu may kno that I belie v 
what I say when I enclose herewith check for seventy-three 
additional Crescent Series Chromatic Screens. 

I anticipate the plesure of taking a private course with yu 
soon. 

Fraternally yours, 

, M.D.

The folloing ar extracts from papers red and discussions 
given at the meeting of the Central Society of Physical 
Therapeutists held at Atlantic Hotel, Chicago, III, Septem- 
ber ^o-October 2, 1918, as reported in their Proceedings. 

Extracts from Paper by J. Faltermayer, M.D., Chicago 
Shortly after becumming acquainted with Dr. White's 
method of diagnosis with radiant colors and energy, I began 
to realize the difficulty confronting me in convincing skeptical 
patients and others as to the reliabiUty of this method and 
the correctness of my findings. Markt antagonism and sus- 
picion loomd up on many occasions, especially when a differ- 
ential diagnosis of sifilis and auto-intoxication decided that 
the patient was afflicted with some form of latent lues. 

T4iose who had acquired this diseas during lifetime, pre- 
senting a history to this effect and having recievd anti-luetic 
treatment, wer more redily convinst that the diagnosis was 
justified. 

Any acute observer wil most willingly agree with me on 
the folloing opinion, namely: 

Nothing is more easily misinterpreted than the trecherous 
underflo of vague simptoms presented by that demon, sifilis, 
lurking in disguise and simulating wel-known as wel as rare 
diseases of the blood, nervs, skin, bones, glands, digestiv 
organs, etc., and the organs of special senses. 

None of these indefinit cases can escape detection by the 
Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diagnosis after a thoro 
and energetic course of treatment for auto-intoxication has 
left the "radiant-colors and energy-findings" unchanged. 

But even to hint to some of these patients the caracter of 
our findings, in order to justify the demand for a prolongd 
course of treatments for "blood diseas," wil bring forth a 
storm of resentment and ridicule. For this clas of patients 
"seeing is believing," and since but a small percentage of 
skeptics could be convinst of the merits and simplicity of this 
diagnostic method, I began to investigate other diagnostic 
tests for simultaneus control aplication. 

The Wassermann test and its modifications could not cum 
into consideration in these cronic forms of tertiary, hereditary, 
or latent lues. 

two hundred four 



Fortunately, I became acquainted with the Intradermic or 
skin test, also named the Luetin test. 

As far back as 1911, and during these intervening years, 
varius investigators hav contributed articls to medical journals 
describing this test, but it never seems to have becum popular, 
since not even mention is made of it in a gorgeous work like 
Seqous' Analytic Cyclopedia of Practical Medicine. 

Thanks to the courtesy of Parke, Davis & Co., I obtaind 
from their biological laboratory some explanatory data on this 
test brot before the medical profession by Dr. H. Noguchi, 
and which I shal cite here in the original form. . . . 

(Anyone interested in this may write to W. W. Bailey. 
M.D., Davenport, la., Secretary of the Central Society of 
Physical Therapeutists for a copy of their Proceedings.) 

For the past two years I hav let this Luetin test procede 
side by side with the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic test in sixty-six 
selected cases, including suspected tertiary, hereditary and 
latent sifilis, as wel as a certain number of cases of simpl auto- 
intoxication, hoping that at some time one test-method would 
expose the other as fallibl in showing either a fictitious positiv 
or negativ reaction. The results so far obtaind hav been 
exceedingly gratifying and productiv of justified conclusions. 

Whenever, upon repeated examination, and after energetic 
treatment for auto-intoxication, a patient persistently gave a 
C-MM VR, I would without a singl exception, find a positiv 
Luetin reaction of some kind. 

On the other hand, if, after successful treatment for auto- 
intoxication, a patient presented a Normal-MM VR, he also 
showd, without a singl exception, a negativ Luetin reaction. 

The larger percentage of the positiv reactions, as shown in 
my case records, prove to be the late pustular or torpid forms, 
which finding differs somewhat with that of erlier investi- 
gators and might be explaind by reasoning as follows : 

1. On account of too short a period of observations some 
of these late positiv reactions would escape notis, this claim 
being justified by the fact that in some cases a severe pustular 
reaction would occur as late as the third, fourth and fifth week. 

2. And this is possibly the most plausibl explanation — 
benign sifilis, modified and attenuated by the diluting effects 
of inheritance thru one or more generations, is very easily 

two hundred five 



over-lookt as such, unless one's attention be calld to it by such 
an extremely sentitiv and superior diagnostic test as we possess 
in the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diagnosis. 

(Then folio many cases to sho that the B-D-C findings wer 
proved to be true, no matter how much disputed.) 

As to the conclusions drawn from my observations, I would 
therefore submit the folloing summary: 

1. The Luetin test, while not essential in the hands of the 
diagnostician acquainted with the principls and aplication of 
the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method, becums a valuabl diag- 
nostic wepon when we ar confronted by skeptics and doutful 
victims of latent lues. 

2. The Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diagnosis in 
latent lues and auto-intoxication furnishes an unfailing differ- 
entiation in cases which a Luetin reaction might be inter- 
preted as either a mild positiv, or a severe normal, reaction. 

In discussing this paper, D. V. Ireland, M.D., of Columbus, 
Ohio, said: "Now, the Wassermann test, I kno from my daily 
observations, doesn't amount to the time it takes to make it. 
There is absolutely nothing to it. I hav seen enuf of it so that 
I kno it is time and energy thrown away to use it." 

L. E. Bunte, M.D., of St. Louis, Mo., in discussing the 
paper said: "It is certainly a privilege to listen to a classical 
paper of this kind. It is excellent, and the results he has gotten 
with the methods employd, is to me one of the most positiv 
tests I want. I think we ar getting down to the bottom of 
some facts when we ar beginning to lern some of these new, 
better, and positiv methods of diagnosis. / consider this B-D-C 
method of diagnosis as positiv." 

W. IV. Bailey, M.D., of Davenport, Iowa, said: "In all 
the blood tests and in all the Wassermann tests I hav had 
made, I hav never yet had what I thot a reliabl finding. Some 
peopl tel me they hav had reliabl Wassermanns made upon 
them, but I hav never found it so in my cases. I was at the 
pathological laboratory in our town and askt them when they 
would make the next test. The pathologist said, Tf the wether 
'and the faze of the m.oon ar proper, we wil make our test 
on such a day. We hav been unfortunate in our tests lately.' 
I hav no faith in the Wassermann test. 

two hundred six 



The Bio-Dynamo -Chromatic method I rely on altogether, 
regardless of whether the Wassermann indicates positiv or 
negativ. In making my B-D-C tests, I use the C-screen only as 
a check. I hav quite a number of Dr. White's Chromatic 
Screens. For sifilis I use No. 10 screen. For auto-intoxication 
I hav a No. 2 screen. The C-screen diagnoses sifilis, auto- 
intoxication, and malaria. The E-screen differentiates malaria. 
In closing the discussion, Dr. Falter may er said: 
"I mainly tried to convey the idea in my paper that we 
must be careful to differentiate between sifilis and auto- 
intoxication. There is never a case of sifilis without auto- 
intoxication, but there ar many cases of auto-intoxication 
without sifilis. 

Those cases that I selected, on sixty-six of which I made 
the Luetin test, wer all very carefully prepared with anti- 
auto-intoxication treatment, so that a Luetin if it wer positiv 
had a perfect right to be positiv. The B-D-C method was a 
valuabl check up. Personally I never mistrust the B-D-C 
method, but I want to convince others that if the B-D-C 
method said it was sifilis the Luetin test would also say so. 

If I had my choice to use either one or the other, I would 
prefer the B-D-C method, after giving the patient thoro treat- 
ment for auto-intoxication. Test again and again, and if the 
reflex remains the same, yu can rest assured that it is specific." 

Extract from Paper by William H. FitzGerald, M.D., 
Hartford, Conn. 

If a man like Cabot admits that his diagnoses in the past 
twenty-five years hav been only about 50% correct, what must 
hav been the average of the physician who is not an authority 
in diagnosis? The "hitting average" of all medical diagnos- 
ticians wil improve by leaps and bounds when they adopt the 
Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of Dr. George Starr White of 
Los Angeles, California. 

A method that wil positivly diagnose cancer, tuberculosis, 
sifilis, and innumerabl other diseases from the day of their 
inception, and do it in a minit or two as the White B-D-C 
method assuredly does, is worthy of, and should reciev, the 
most ardent commendation of the medical profession.

T. Howard Plank, M.D., of Chicago, in discussing the Bio- 
Dynamo-Chromatic sistem said: "I would say the Bio- 
Dynamo- Chromatic method of diagnosis is absolutely positiv 
in every case, even tho we may not be abl to demonstrate it. 
That is a big statement to make, becaus there is a large 
human equation that cums in. The more I use it the more 
I like it. When I get a new case, I test it out with the Chrom- 
atic Screens first. I used the method for a year on known 
cases only. Then I used it on the unknown cases. Even now 
I check up my B-D-C diagnosis with recognized laboratory 
methods when possibl. I hav patients who cum to the offis 
who wil not permit me to cut out a piece, so I cannot use the 
laboratory methods. The Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic test, how- 
ever, tels me the troubl. Therefore to me it is one of the positiv 
methods. 

Dr. W. W. Bailey of Davenport, Iowa, in further discussion 
said: 'T am very enthusiastic over the B-D-C method of 
diagnosis. Three years ago when I took the course from Dr. 
White I brot a yung man to Chicago. Dr. White diagnosed the 
condition as sifilis. After I began using the work on him I 
tested him out with the chromatic screens and he always gave 
the C-MM VR. 

After ten or twelv weeks of intensiv antisifilitic treatment 
this yung man gave a Normal-MM VR, the test being taken 
every week for three weeks in succession. 

(Dr. Bailey gave reports of several cases which by opera- 
tion or autopsy had proved the B-D-C diagnosis to be correct.) 

In conclusion he said, 'T feel very enthusiastic about the 
Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diagnosis. I am quite cer- 
tain yu can depend upon it every time. 

Dr. L. E. Bunte, St. Louis, Mo., in further discussion said: 
"I took Dr. White's course last year and installd the B-D-C 
apparatus immediately and went to work. 

When one can diagnose a case of tuberculosis (as I hav 
done by the B-D-C sistem), and by folloing the outlined treat- 
ment which Dr. White has given, can get a Normal-MM VR 
in the same room after ten weeks' treatment, I certainly think 
there is something to it. Personally I am willing to laud this 

two hundred eight 



sistem. Hail to the man who has given this sistem to the 
profession. 

We as physicians lack backbone to stand up and tel the 
man that he has something good until he is ded, or we criticize 
it and cut it to pieces becaus we do not kno anything about 
it, or neglect and refuse to study it in detail and folio out 
the tecnic outlined. 

If a man says he has faild, I want to tel him that hundreds 
and thousands of others hav made good. We ar just as apt 
to be right if we say that one man made a mistake in his 
tecnic as to critize the sistem. 

I hope before Dr. White dies that the Bio-Dynamo- 
Chromatic method of diagnosis wil spred and be known to 
every physician in America, England and France, and the 
other cuntries that may wish to take it up,

Lectures to Physicians 

George Starr White,'^ M. D., member of a dozen medical 
and sientific societies in America and England, now a resident 
of Los Angeles, is one of the increasing number of independ- 
ent medical thinkers who refuse to bow their nees to the 
arbitrary dictates of the American Medical Association. Con- 
sequently he has been persecuted by that body. He is, however, 
a fighter and has made his way, acquiring fame and simpathy 
among physicians who hav benefited by his teachings. 

Dr. White has just issued the seventh edition, revized, of 
his "Lecture Course to Physicians on Natural Methods in 
Diagnosis and Treatment." It is a hevy volume of 1422 
pages with 450 illustrations, and cost so much to pubhsh that 
no pubHsher would tackl it. Therefore, Dr. White himself 
finanst and publisht the book. 

Like other physicians who hav dared to think for themselvs 
Dr. White does not believ in the "germ" theory of diseas. 

In regard to diet, Dr. White is unusually sane.

COLORD LIGHTS— A MEANS OF DIAGNOSIS 
AND CURE* 

By Edwin F. Bowers, M. D. 

If every fire could be discoverd and properly treated just 
when it was developing the first faint flickerings of yung 
life, nothing except a powder mil or a paint shop would 
ever burn down. And, likewize, if doctors only knew what 
was the matter before whatever is the matter gets too great 
a start to cure or cut out, few would ever die, except from 
"old age," accident, or from diseases for which we hav as 
yet found no remedy. 

We hav not yet any generally known and reliabl method 
of diagnosing tuberculosis except by finding tubercl bacilli 
in the sputum. And when the diseas has progrest thus far, 
in a tragic number of instances our discovery has cum too 
late. So, the grim fact remains that tuberculosis is stil 
responsibl for the deth of one of every seven "civilized" 
human beings, while cancer, that equally implacabl foe of 
mankind, is Minotaur to one of every eight women and one 
of every fifteen men living under conditions of "civilization." 

When, therefore, even with the most perfect training and 
the .most elaborate equipment, and with the assistance of 
some of the ablest specialists in laboratory and reserch work 
in America, so eminent a ph3''sician as Dr. Richard Cabot, 
of Boston, admits that he is right in his diagnosis only 
fifty per cent, of the time, intimating that patients of doctors 
of lesser capacity must be even worse off than ar his patients, 
it is clear to even the most casual that any improvement over 
this hit or mis "we-don't-kno-yet" method must be welcum. 

If there wer developt a means of diagnosis so definit as 
to be practically infallibl, as accurate as mathematics, as 
uniform as a chemical reaction, and so simpl that any 
doctor of even ordinary good training could aply it, the 
significance of the discovery could hardly be computed in 
terms of lives and mony. 

The long-drawn suffering, the years of dependent inca- 
pacity, the los of bred winners, could be almost wholly 
prevented — if only this knoledge wer universalized. The 
conservation of life and helth, the vast increas in happiness

and wel-being would place this discovery on a par with 
the discovery of anesthesia or of antiseptics in point of impor- 
tance, and we could practically stamp out tuberculosis and 
cancer in two generations. 

This has been a medical vizion, a vague Utopian dream, 
ever since medicin divorst Empiricism and marrid Sience. 
And now the vizion has becum a reality, the dream has 
becum an actuality. For an American sientist, George Starr 
^Yhite, M.D., F.S.Sc, Lond., of Los Angeles, Calif., has 
discoverd a natural principl so simpl as almost to be absurd, 
and yet so fraut with meaning that it spels life itself for 
millions. 

He merely found out why a sick carrier pigeon could not 
find its way home. Then he aplied the principl there 
discoverd to determin why humans and animals that suiferd 
from diseas could not find their way back to helth. The 
anser was the same in both cases. It was becaus of their 
inability to respond to the magnetism that flows along the 
erth's magnetic meridians. And this inabihty to respond 
to the magnetic attraction of the meridians is becaus some 
diseas in the sistem prevents the response to this magnetic 
flo. 

Let us now digress for a moment, and bild a platform 
broad enuf to stand on while we look this big fact in the eye. 

The greatest living sientists ar now agreed that all that 
differentiates any one thing from any other thing in Nature 
is the difference in its rate of vibration. Color, light, sound, 
radio-activ energy, or electricity ar merely expressions of 
certain rates and modes of motion — a certain rate and mode 
of vibration. Theoretically, we could change cheese into 
chalk and mud into gold and diseas into helth if only we 
could transmute the absolute rate and mode of vibration of 
the other. 

It wil be rememberd that only a few years ago this was 
actually accomplisht in the case of a certain germ — the 
anthrax bacillus. These germs, after exposure for a time 
to ultra-violet rays, wer changed into an entirely different 
species of germ, as was proved by the fact that when injected 
into animals they no longer developt anthrax in that animal. 
They developt, on the contrary, an entirely different diseas. 

two hundred twelv 



Which proved that their caracteristics wer replaced by other 
caracteristics, equally wel defined. 

Another fat plank for our platform revolvs around the 
fact that if we briskly rub a cat's fur, commencing at the 
tail, and proceding expeditiously towards its ears, we wil, 
under favorabl atmosferic conditions, develop a perceptibl 
amount of electricity in our feline battery. 

Again if we run into an open door or into a misplaced 
chair (and all chairs we run into ar misplaced) instinctivly 
we pres and rub the hurt spot with a soUcitus palm, thereby 
relieving the acute pain thru the soothing effects of animal 
magnetism. 

Some fenomenally helthy individuals hav such an amount 
of this magnetism that they make a living selling their excess 
to those who haven't so much. They call themselvs "mag- 
netic healers," and they probably do much more good than 
harm in the world. And they might do even more good 
if they would confine themselvs to only those conditions which 
cum correctly within the mild province of their curativ powers. 

However, if any one — even the most viril and vigorus 
"magnetizer" — is attacht by a wire, chain, or other "con- 
ductor" to some gas or water pipe — in other words, if he 
is properly "grounded" — we can lead the electricity out of 
his body and remove his "static tension." This is plank number 
three. 

Plank number four brings us in view of the aforemen- 
tiond sick carrier pigeon that couldn't find her way home. 

This faculty which she lost — this power of orientation — 
is a peculiar gift. It enabls migratory birds to steer a north 
or south course almost as tho they had a compass in their 
brain. To a lesser degree it affords a sense of direction to 
dogs, cats, many wild animals and savages, and some blind 
peopl. 

How they do this has, for many centuriies, been a disputed 
question. But sience is now accepting the explanation 
advanst by Dr. White more than thirty-five years ago. He 
insisted that the magnetically charged bodies respond, like 
the needl of a compass, to the influence of the magnetic 
poles of the erth. The flood of magnetism running from 
south to north, over and thru the erth, affects their magnet- 
ically charged organisms, and tels them the direction ks 

two hundred thirteen 



plainly as the current of a stream would tel us the direction 
of the river flo, and also our way home, if we knew the 
river and the topografy of the cuntry. 

So birds migrating in many instances, thousands of miles 
every spring and fall, find their way, gided by the definit 
energy of the magnetic meridian streaming thru their bodies. 
They require not even the sense of sight. Indeed, many 
species fly exclusivly by night, resting and feedmg during 
the day time. 

This brings us to a "close up" of the sick pigeon who had 
lost her power of orientation • — in other words, that had, for 
some reason, lost her power to respond to the magnetic 
currents flowing from south to north over the crth and back 
thru the erth to the south again. 

The owner willingly gave the sick flyer to the eager enthu- 
siast, and within ten minits Dr. White was exploring the 
body of the littl bird for the mistery lockt in its tissues. 
He found that it was affected with avian tuberculosis. 

One swallow never made a summer, nor did one carrier 
pigeon ever make a theory. But during the next twenty 
years Dr. White studied every migratory bird he could get 
his hands on that couldn't find its way home, and, in every 
instance, he found that there was some pathological process 
somewhere in that bird's body. 

Restless, and striving ever for increas in knoledge and 
improvement in tecnic. Dr. White next turnd his attention 
to our crude methods of diagnosing. After years of experi- 
ment he developt an extremely delicate and highly original 
method of eliciting and differentiating percussion sounds. 

Yu wil remember that the last time the family physician 
examind yu he "lookt at your lungs" most thoroly. He 
moved his left hand over your chest and tapt smartly with 
his right-hand finger tips on the firmly-prest second finger 
of his left hand. For a diagnosis of the condition of the 
lungs this method — inasmuch as yu wer beautifully propor- 
tiond, and bilt somewhat on the general lines of Andromeda 
or Theseus — workt admirably. But had yu been bilt on 
somewhat more generus lines • — with the tissues coverd 
deep with fat — it would have been much more difficult to 
state accurately just what and where the trubl was. 

If it wer a matter of minutely outlining the hart, or some 

two hundred fourteen 



one or more of the abdominal organs, the percussion diag- 
nosis would be most likely helpt by a liberal amount of 
geswork. It simply can't be done — that's all. 

And so Dr. White improvd on this antique method. 
Insted of vibrating bone over tissue he vibrates a colum of air 
over the surface. Thus : Insted of pressing the second finger 
of the left hand solidly over the region to be percust, he 
tuches gently the widespred first and third fingers to the body, 
raises the second finger free, and taps it smartly with the 
index finger of his right hand, of which he has made a littl 
hammer. This hammer is composed of a celluloid thimbl 
into which a mixture of beeswax and the finest bird-seed 
shot hav been molded. This thimbl fits on the index finger. 

There is no tension — nothing to change the caracter of 
the sound in this **air-colum" method of examination, and 
the variation in the quality of sounds is almost marvelus. 
To the traind ear of one accustomd to this work, abnormal 
conditions clear in the back of the body can be detected 
by percussing the front. 

All this led to the crucial discovery — a discovery which 
if made by one of the professors in the European scools 
would hav, by this time, been adopted and taut in every 
medical scool in the world, and one, I venture to say, that 
wil be used by thousands of physicians in every part of the 
world hundreds of years after Dr. White is only a memory. 

It is merely that there is a definit variation in tone in the 
same individual, when percussing him — especially over the 
abdomen — by the air-colum method, when he has been 
facing east or west, and is then turnd to face north or south. 

Understand, this change in pitch is not causd by any 
increas in air space, which would folio moving the finger 
nearer or farther from the body. It is dependent solely upon 
the alterd relation of the patient as regards the points of 
the compass, and is due to the fact that the magnetic meridian 
has alterd the tension of the entire body, especially that notist 
in the internal organs. 

That this important fact may be better understood, it 
should be rememberd that the functions of the body ar con- 
trold by the nervus sistem. The simpathetic and vagus nervs 
ar the conductors of the energy that governs the internal 
organs, and when the tension of the blood vessels supplying 

two hundred fifteen 



these organs is changed, percussion over these organs demon- 
strates a corresponding change in their 'Vagal tone" — tension. 

In the majority of helthy individuals, there wil also be a 
temporary increas of from four to eight beats a minit in 
the pulse rate when the static electricity has been removed by 
"grounding," and they ar turnd to the north or south after 
having been facing east or west. 

Physician readers wil better apreciate the sientific accu- 
racy and "absoluteness" of these changes when it is emfa- 
sized that these reflexes can be registerd by the plethysmo- 
graf, the cardiokymograf, the sycofanometer, the sfygmo- 
manometer, the sycofanograf, the organotonometer, and 
many other instruments which cannot possibly be hypnotized 
or otherwize persuaded to render a biast report. 

However, only helthy individuals hav this clearly defined 
change in vagal tone — this "simpathetic-vagal reflex," as 
Dr. White calls it. But when those suffering from diseas, 
no matter how faintly defined, ar faced to the east and 
then ar turnd to face the north, the tension in their blood 
vessels remains unalterd. Some toxic process within their 
bodies interferes with or "inhibits" their response to the 
influence of the magnetic meridian. 

To determin what causes this, Dr. White tried every 
concievabl method of bringing back this reflex — even tem- 
porarily. He finally found that if the bared chest and abdo- 
men of those who did not sho the normal magnetic reflex 

— in other words, who wer il — wer exposed for a minit or 
two to colord lights, the reflex could be temporarily restored. 

He first demonstrated that tuberculus patients of either 
sex, and in all stages of the diseas, if exposed to the "vibra- 
tion" of the fotografic "dark-room ruby," would sho the 
same variation in blood-vessel tensions as all helthy individuals 
showd without the ruby light. 

Yet he was puzld when patients who complaind only of 
nervusness, fatigue, or los of appetite, and who did not 
respond normally, gave the reflex when subjected to the ruby 
light. But the problem was solvd when these same patients 

— six months or a year later — showd unmistakabl evidence 
of tuberculosis. 

After thousands of experiments, Dr. White establisht 
conclusivly that tuberculus patients, even tho they did not 

two hundred sixteen 



exhibit the sHghtest trace of the diseas — so far as could be 
demonstrated by the most skild diagnosis — responded, Uke 
a needl to the pole, to the stimulus of these littl ruby lights. 

Scores of patients whom Dr. White pronounst tuberculus 
ar ded or incurably diseasd, becaus they and their family 
physicians ridiculed the verdict of the ruby light. 

The light never lies. It is never in error. It is as inflexibl 
as is gravitation. Time and again physicians hav brot patients 
to Dr. White or to some of his hundreds of physician 
pupils in varius parts of the cuntry. These patients wer 
hevily veild — or even maskt — and without a stethoscope, 
without a question concerning simptoms, or without ever 
hearing even the sound of the patient's voice, the littl lamp 
and the teltale change of tension hav unmistakably indicated 
the diagnosis. 

There is only one other diseas that responds to this ruby 
light, and that is cancer. Yet cancer also responds to a 
"burnt orange" or "amber" light, to which tuberculosis givs 
no reflex. No matter in what stage the diseas may be, or 
how obscure or deep seated, cancer givs this response to "am- 
ber" light — the speed velocity of which is about 175,000 
miles a second, as against the 180,000 of the dark-room ruby. 

Thus began the marvelus sistem of diagnosis to which 
the soft littl body of the carrier pigeon pointed the path 
thirty-five years ago. 

Continuing his work with radiant colors. Dr. White found 
that patients suffering from constitutional blood diseas — no 
matter how mildly tainted, or of how long duration the 
condition, and irrespectiv of the Wassermann findings (which 
ar almost as frequently rong as right) — gave the reflex 
when exposed to the blue light — the speed of which is aprox- 
imately 160,000 miles a second — and to no other color. 

There is no chance for error. Geswork is entirely eliminated. 
If they hav si fills they giv this reflex to the blue light. If 
they do not respond — no matter how many eminent special- 
ists may say they ar affected — they ar -free from this 
particular diseas. 

The same is true of specific urethritis, the so-cald "black 
plague." If a patient givs a reaction to the rays of the purpl 
lamp, he is gonorreic — even tho it may hav been forty-two 

two hundred seventeen 



years since he was infected (as was the case with a Chicago 
physician in one of Dr. White's classes). 

With similar exactness malaria discloses itself to a certain 
combination of blue-green light, influenza or "the grip" to a 
red-green combination, kidny intoxications to a certain violet, 
liver diseas and jaundis to pure green, tyfoid to blue-green and 
amber, and alcoholic conditions to deep prune. And gradually 
more and more of the toxemias ar cumming into exact class- 
ification as regards their response to vari-colord lights. It 
is merely a problem in vibration — each diseas apparently 
producing a definit molecular rapport with rays of light 
traveling at a certain speed. And it would seem that every 
condition that so modifies the emanations from the body as 
to nullify the effect of the energy of the magnetic meridian 
upon it has a definit color vibration for diagnosing it. 

The colors must be absolutely "on the pitch," however- — 
they must be accurately tuned to a certain vibration. Else 
they wil fail to elicit the reflex, particularly in incipient con- 
ditions, or in diseases which ar not clearly defined. But 
Dr. White's methods of insuring this accuracy ar too tecnical 
for our present consideration. 

This ^'absoluteness" of vibration, however, explains why 
Dr. White and his pupils must work in subdued light, and 
also why spectators ar obliged to stand back four or five 
feet from the subject. Energy is energy; whether it be 
strong sunlight, moonlight, electric light, or the syco-mag- 
netic radiations from the human body. And inasmuch as the 
energy from the magnetic meridian is being used for the 
diagnosis, any other energy would hav an effect upon the 
results secured. 

In order better to comprehend the value of "Bio-Dynamo- 
Chromatic Diagnosis," as Dr. White has cristend his brain 
pet (from bios, life; dynamis, force; and chroma, color); 
and the better to understand what it means to a patient to 
kno whether or not she has a condition requiring a surgical 
operation, a recently reported experience is rather illuminating. 

Three women, all of whom had brest conditions which 
had been pronounst cancerus, wer brot to Dr. White for 
diagnosis. They had been informd that immediate removal 
of the b rests and of the glands as far as the armpit was the 

two hundred eighteen 



only mesure that would keep them alive for more than two 
or three years. 

When they wer placed on the turn-tabl and turnd north 
after first having been tested facing the east, two of them 
gave an absolutely normal reflex. They showd the normal 
change in the tension of their blood vessels and internal 
organs, which, if cancer wer even beginning to develop, 
they would not giv. Wer they cancerus it would hav been 
necessary to expose their bared chest and abdomen to the 
burnt orange or amber hght before the reflex could be elicited. 

On the strength of this normal response Dr. White pro- 
nounst these two ladies free from cancer, claiming that the 
lumps in their brests wer merely enlarged glands, or else 
wer due to muscular contractions. These patients ar today, 
after a lapse of many years, two absolutely helthy and 
satisfactorily unmutilated ladies. 

The third patient had no change in blood-vessel tension 
when she was faced north, after having been tested facing 
east. But when the amber light was focust on her for a 
minit or more the reflex came back with a rush; proving 
indubitably that she was cancerus. 

She was completely cured, however, after several months* 
treatment, by a unique and most effectiv method which wil be 
described presently. 

The importance of this work cannot be overestimated. 
It absolutely eliminates ''snap diagnosis." It does away with 
the necessity for an "exploratory operation" (for cancer, 
tuberculosis, sifilis and other toxemias, at any rate) and it 
estabhshes, by a method that, when correctly employd, is. 
infallibl, whether one has or has not any of these disorders, 
and if so, which one, and also how badly he has it. It can 
redily be understood how vital and hfe-saving this beautifully 
accurate means of diagnosing such an obscure condition, for 
instance, as cancer of the stomac, or some other internal 
organ, wil becum — when Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Diagnosis 
is generally known and practist. 

This brings us to the most interesting part of our story. 
For the colord light that restores the abnormal reflex does 
much more than merely to point the caracter of the trubl. 
The same light that tels us the caus of the patient's sickness, 
if used intermittently for twenty minits or more daily, in 

two hundred nineteen 



conjunction, of course, with hygienic and other indicated 
measures, wil, of the diseas is not too far advanst, almost 
invariably effect a cure. 

Hundreds of cases of tuberculosis, pronounst incurabl by 
any other mean^, hav been arrested and brot safely back to 
the broad highway of helth by these means. Such a cure was 
effected in one who might almost be calld a member of my 
own family. 

A littl girl, now nineteen, who came to us as a baby with 
her mother, and made our home her home for more than 
twelv years, moved West a few years ago, and there devel- 
opt pulmonary trubl. The diseas made rapid inroads, in spite 
of the best availabl medical care. But, fortunately for her, 
I met Dr. White three years ago this spring, and immediately 
upon his return to Los Angeles, put littl Jean under his care. 

Within two months she had gaind thirty pounds and had 
increast almost forty per cent, in red blood eels. The sputum 
cleard up, as did also the cof. To-day she is absolutely wel 
and helthy. She owes her recovery to intermittent ruby light, 
oxigen vapor, and powerful radiant light. 

While it is easy to diagnose incipient tuberculosis, it is 
equally easy to say that cases which hav all the earmarks of 
tuberculosis ar in reality something else. 

Recently there was brot to Dr. White a boy v^ho was 
"face markt" by T. B. He had been pronounst tuberculus 
by some of the most eminent medical men in the West. The 
littl chap was so anemic and so weak that almost any physician 
would hav been justified in pronouncing him a consumptiv. 
His condition had cum on suddenly folloing an acute attack 
of grip. He was trubld with an aggravating cof, shortness 
of breth and lack of appetite. 

But he gave a "grip"-simpathetic-vagal reflex. And within 
two months, under "big light," intermittent "grip" colord 
light and oxigen-vapor inhalations ("condenst out-of-doors 
treatment"), he was absolutely wel. Had he been treated 
"expectantly" he might not hav recoverd, as these ar the cases 
which so often becum tuberculus. 

For remember that the light that elicits the reflex — that 
tels what the diseas is — if used faithfully and correctly for 
a period of time, tends to cure the disorder that causd the 
abnormal condition. This is the hope held out to those suffer- 

two hundred twenty 



ing from tuberculosis, cancer, or the cronic toxemias, which, 
under our present methods, ar most generally incurabl. 

There is nothing transcendental or metafisical about Dr. 
White's work. It requires no long esoteric novitiate. Any- 
intelligent, wel-traind physician, after a littl experience and 
practis, can get identically the same results that Dr. White 
secures. This has been repeatedly demonstrated. For, time 
and again, his pupils, securing certain reflexes, and desirus 
of ''checking up" their tecnic, would refer the patients to 
Dr. White — saying nothing concerning their diagnosis. Yet 
invariably the findings would coincide. 

Dr. White has diagnosed thousands of the most obscure 
cases the doctors of America could "dig up" for him, and 
has never made a mistake in an uncompHcated condition. 
And what Dr. White can do any physician who wil study 
and practis the method, can do equally wel. 

That no other sientist has ever discoverd the effect of the 
magnetic meridian on the human body is probably explaind 
by the fact that, until Dr. White told us, no one knew that 
daylight, bright light, or other forms of energy, maskt the 
effects of this M.M. energy. But now this particular eg has 
been stood on end. And becaus of this I believ that the 
adoption and general use of this method of diagnosis and 
treatment wil save in twenty years more lives than the World 
War is now destroying. I also believ that, after the war, we 
shal hav the doctors and the *'docents" and the "hoch pro- 
fessors" of Europe cumming to America to lern how to 
diagnose and treat diseas. The seemingly absurd and prepost- 
erus colord lights wil be the "big medicin" that wil work these 
epoc-making wonders.

CLINICAL CASES* 

The following clinical cases ar given to enabl my 
readers to kno just how I handl the clas of cases outlined. 
I cannot possibly cite every kind of diseas that I treat as 
it would make this book too voluminus. 

I treat every known cronic diseas, using only the 
methods fully described and illustrated in the Seventeenth 
Edition of my book entitld, ''The Natural Way or My 
Work/^ That book contains a great number of original 
pen-and-ink drawings Illustrating in detail every step 
mentiond in these clinical cases. 

To hav all these clinical cases and the working text in 
one book would make the book too large to handl. 
Therefore they had to be put into this book. 

The Seventeenth Edition of The Natural Way or My 
Work is ritten in such language that no one needs a 
medical education to understand it. It is my aim to rite 
them in such language that the laity can understand them 
just as wel as a physician. 

The old idea that humanity helpers can be only 
physicians and that they can be only those who hav gon 
thru a certain prescribed course of study as outlined by 
a certain body of autocrats is rapidly declining. Some of 
the best physicians I hav ever met never went to a medical 
college, but lernd their work by aiding suffering humanity. 
I do not decry a medical education, but no education can 
make a person a true physician. It must he innate. The 
highest type of physician that history givs us was the 
"Son of Man," and there Is no record that he ever went 
to a medical college or was given a degree to aid 
humanity. 

The plan outlined by the medical autocrats is to make 
the practis of medicin a closed-shop affair, and to allow 

*When "the text" is referd to in these clinical cases, it means the 
Seventeenth Edition of The Natural Way or My Work, in which 
book is explaind and illustrated every detail of treatment mentiond 
in these clinical cases.

no one to practis the healing art unless they hav gon 
thru a certain prescribed course of preliminary study that 
has no more to do with aiding humanity than the study of 
navigation has to do with the feeding of chickens. 

These medical autocrats ar not prescribing this course 
for the good of humanity, but for their own selfish gains 
and to compel the public to eat out of their hands whether 
they wish to or not. However, the day Is rapidly aproach- 
ing when the peopl wll hav the say as to whether they 
ar going to be compeld by any leglslatlv board to employ 
such and such a type of doctor. 

The practis of medicin should be as free and untrameld 
as the practis of religion. In other words, medical free- 
dom should be establisht on the same basis as religious 
freedom. 

It was only a few years ago that men in Court array 
dictated to the peopl as to what church thev should attend 
and just what their belief should be. That speld the 
downfall of religious autocracy — a sistem that was as 
devilish as anything In Dante's Inferno. 

When any set of humans begins to invoke the law to 
bi-Ing about certain selfish ends, It means that their power 
Is on the wane. This same sign must be cheering to the 
liberty-loving peopl of America, becaus as I am riting 
this book there ar in Washington, D. C, numerus blls to 
be past upon, having for their aim the medical enslaving 
of the American peopl. Political doctors ar endevoring 
to pas laws prohibiting the peopl from employing any 
clas of medication except that which they prescribe. This 
is the beginning of the end of medical autocracy becaus 
the peopl wll soon waken to the fact that these political 
doctors ar slimy with the blood of their victims. 

In some of the folloing clinical cases I hav tried to 
outline in detail every step taken In the given case, but 
to do this with every case would make the reports too 
lengthy. Therefore I wil say In short that in every case 

two hundred twenty-six 



I hav employd the method of dietetics outlined In the 
Seventeenth Edition of The Natural Way. 

I should like to repeat that method In this book, but 
It would make the book too large. Therefore I must 
refer my readers to that book for an explanation of the 
method of feeding that I prescribe. 

I want my readers to understand that there Is no 
natural method of curing any diseas without first regulat- 
ing the diet. To treat the outside of the body and Ignore 
the Inside of the body Is the height of folly. It Is a 
deplorabl state of affairs that so few physicians kno noth- 
ing about dietetics. It Is stil more deplorabl that the 
Institutions for teaching the practis of medlcin pay so 
llttl attention to the most Important role In the curing of 
any diseas, namely. Dietetics. 

No farmer can be a successful farmer unless he kno 
how to feed the soil and In turn he must lern how to feed 
his stock. That Is why agricultural colleges take up so 
much time In teaching how to feed animals. 

Of equal Importance to the diet In treating any diseas 
Is to obliterate fear from the patient. If fear be present, 
no matter what food they may take. It wU becum a poison 
to the sistem. No matter what form of treatment Is em- 
ployd. If fear be present and Is not eradicated, the treat- 
ment Is futll. So I might say that every case that cums 
to a physician must first hav fear obliterated, then select 
such natural means as ar apllcabl to the case for aiding 
Nature In bringing the body back to normal, or In other 
words, establishing a normal rate and mode of vibration 
thruout the body. 

The Modalities that I hav found to be the best (after 
selecting, experimenting and originating methods of treat- 
ment for the past 38 years) ar radiant light, heat, color, 
vibration Including massage, spinal manipulation, oxigen 
Inhalation, and the natural forces such as gravitation, 
magnetism, etc. 

Many clinical cases other than those here appended ar

outlined in the Seventeenth Edition of The Natural Way 
or My Work. 

Case LXXV 

Girl 18 years of age was brot to me for consultation 
regarding ''pimpls^^ on the face, sholders and chest. 
These plmpls wer of two varieties — slmpl acne and acne 
indurata or deep-seated acne. She had sufferd much at 
the hands of many physicians and her skin was quite 
badly mutilated. She had been afflicted with this trubl for 
four years. 

I first regulated the diet, cutting out all meat, sugar, 
bred, potato, tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, salt and all 
condiments, and put her on the very plainest diet of raw 
food, including fruits, vegetabls and nuts. 

I also cut out all milk and egs and everything made 
from them. 

I used the actinic rays from the quartz mercury-vapor 
lamp in combination with the radiations from the 1500- 
watt incandescent lamp. 

Within three months every plmpl had disappeard and 
at the end of another three months I was abl to obliterate 
nearly all of the scars. 

In the meantime her dismenorrea was completely 
rellevd. 

Case LXXVI 

Girl 16 years of age. Had sufferd with dismenorrea 
for three years. Her general nervus sistem was in very 
bad condition becaus of these painful periods. 

Upon examination I found the vagina and rectum very 
much contracted. I dilated both, not by any harsh means, 
but so gradually that no injury was done to the tissues. 

I regulated the diet and treated her by means of power- 
ful radiant light, vibration and spinal adjustment or 
manipulation. 

two hundred twenty-eight 



The second period, after treatment began, was without 
any pain, and for five years she has had no pain during 
her menstrual periods. 

Case LXXVII 

Girl 19 years of age. Had sufferd with amenorrea for 
three years. I regulated her diet so as to overcum the 
anemia that went with her condition, and at the same 
time kept her bowels wel opend by dietetic mesures. Out- 
lined exercizes for developing the abdominal musls and 
viscera. 

I used powerful radiant light over the body every day 
and had her use hot-epsom-salt-sltz baths every nite for 
one month. 

I used Intermittent traction for overcumming the ten- 
sion In the spine and laid special stres upon the stimulation 
of the area about the 2d lumbar vertebra. 

Within two months from the time the patient came to 
me she began to menstruate and has menstruated 
regularly for the past four years. 

Case LXXVIII 

Slngl lady 38 years of age. Sent to me for diagnosis 
becaus of peculiar pressure in the throat. Upon examin- 
ation I found an aneurism. I regulated the diet, cutting 
out all fluids that wer not absolutely necessary for dlges- 
tlv purposes. Gave her electric light baths twice a week 
and radiations from the powerful incandescent lamps 
combined with the quartz light six times a week. 

In addition to this I used the magnetic-wave current 
for ten minlts daily. 

I used the pulsoidal current, or some other method of 
stimulation over the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, six 
times a week. Within six months there wer no simptoms 
of aneurism that could be found.

Case LXXIX 

(The folloing case of appendicitis is so tipical of those 
that I see so often that I wil cite it as an exampl of how 
I handl all such cases.) 

Single lady 38 years of age was brot to me suffering 
with terribl pain in the cecal region. Upon examination 
I found she was very sensitiv to pressure and was suffer- 
ing from great fright. I immediately dispeld her fears, 
gave her a good dose of paraffin oil, and put her under 
the radiation of three 1500-watt incandescent lamps. The 
radiations from one of these lamps was directed over 
the region of the appendix. 

Within half an hour all pain in this region had past 
away and the patient said she felt perfectly relaxt. 

I then let her go home, advizing her to eat nothing 
but six ounces of orange juice five times a day for the 
next week. 

She reported for treatment the folloing morning and 
on ^Yt con^cutiv mornings, after which time she was to 
all appearances cured. 

I did not think she needed any more treatments, but 
outlined a diet including enuf raw vegetabls to keep her 
bowels loose, and told her to eat no meat, salt, sugar, 
white bred, and not more than one small baked potato a 
day, and to drink no tea, coffee, chocolate or cocoa. 

For the past five years this lady has not had a return 
of her appendicular pains. 

Case LXXX 

Man 58 years of age brot to me for diagnosis, his 
prominent simpton being dizziness and lack of memory. 
On examination I found he ha<i colitis and a blood press- 
ure of 210. I cut out all meat from his diet as wel as 
salt, sugar, white bred, tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, to- 
bacco and alcohol. Allowd him to eat baked, boild or 
steamd fish twice a week and one eg daily. 

two hundred thirty 



I gave him radiation from three 1500-watt incandes- 
cent lamps every morning for thirty minits and magnetic- 
wave treatment for 20 minits. Within one month his 
blood pressure was down to 150, all his bad simptoms 
had been relievd, and he has had no return of any of 
these abnormal simptoms for the past three years. 

Case LXXXI 

Lady 63 years of age. Had sufferd for years with 
reumatoid arthritis or arthritis deformans. The joints of 
her fingers wer very painful and partially ankylosed. I 
broke up the adhesions in these joints and outlined a raw 
diet suitabl for her condition. Six days a week I treated 
her with radiations from the powerful incandescent lamps 
and gave her vibration. 

Within three months all pain had left her and except 
for a slight deformity of the joints she has been in a 
comfortabl condition for the past three years. 

Case LXXXII 

Singl lady 2S years of age. Had been suffering with 
asthma for several years. She was sent to me for diag- 
nosis, as tuberculosis was suspected. Upon examination 
I found she had a Normal-MM VR and therefore I 
excluded tuberculosis, sifilis, or other constitutional 
intoxication. 

I then examind her from hed to foot, including the 
navel and the sfincters of the anus and vagina. I also 
made a careful examination of the clitoris and found that 
was in normal condition. The hymen I found very much 
contracted and very unyielding. As soon as I attempted 
to enter my index finger thru the hymen, the lady had a 
paroxysm of coffing. That gave me the cue and I at 
once ruptured the hymen and dilated the sfincter vaginae 
with my three fingers. This lady has not had an attack 

two hundred thirty-one 



of asthma since, and no other mesures wer taken for 
treating her. 

Case LXXXIII 

A singl lady 22 years of age had been suffering with 
asthma for about two years and tuberculosis was sus- 
pected. Upon examination I found she gave a Normal- 
MM VR and so ruled out tuberculosis. I found the 
sfincter ani very much contracted and when I attempted 
to insert my index finger, she had a spasm of coffing. 
Careful dilation of the sfincter, along with carrying out 
general hygienic and dietetic mesures, cured that lady 
of the asthmatic condition. 

Case LXXXIV 

(Often asthmatic attacks ar caused by irrition about 
a hooded cHtoris or by irritation in the navel, but I 
think the most peculiar reflex condition I ever saw was 
responsibl for the folloing case:) 

Singl lady 52 years of age. Had occasional attacks 
of asthma which had been tormenting her for many years. 
She had searcht for relief In all parts of the cuntry and 
had tried all kinds of treatments but nothing relievd her. 
She would go for days without one of these attacks and 
then would suddenly hav one without any warning, and it 
would last several minits. 

"Incipient tuberculosis" was the general diagnosis altho 
this lady gave no outward sign of tuberculosis. 

When I examind her, I found she had a Normal-MM 
VR, which excluded tuberculosis. After I had examind 
her from hed to foot, including sfincters and navel, I 
could find nothing to giv me the slightest cue, and was 
about to giv up, when I thot I would examin her toe 
nails and finger nails to see what lifting them up would 
do. After I had lifted the toe nails I took the finger 
nails. I lifted the nail of each finger of the left hand and 

two hundred thirty-two 



then went to the right hand. When I lifted the nail of the 
index finger of the right hand, she had a spasm of coffing. 
I said nothing but waited until the paroxysm had past and 
then took the other finger nails of that hand. Then I 
went back to the index finger, and again the paroxysm of 
coffing started and continued for two or three minits. 

I askt her if that was the kind of coffing she had been 
having all these years and she said it was. When I 
began to question her carefully, I found that it was when 
she was doing certain kinds of work, like the turning of 
a bed mattress or other work that might make pressure 
upon the ends of the fingers, that brot on the paroxysms 
of coffing. She said she had to giv up playing on the 
piano becaus she would suddenly hav attacks of asthmatic 
coffing while she was playing. 

I found that by cutting the finger nail down very closely 
she had no paroxysm of coffing, and as long as it was 
kept closely cut she had none, but if it grew out at all 
long, she would occasionally hav the paroxysms of coffing. 

I took two dishes of water, attaching one pole of the 
pulsoidal current to each of the dishes of water, and had 
her put a hand into each dish. As soon as the current 
was put on she had paroxysms of coffing and told me 
that the sensation in her throat was as if she wer inhaling 
sulfurus fumes. I askt her if that wer the sensation she 
had in her throat when I lifted up the nail of the index 
finger of the right hand, and she said it was. No other 
fingers gave any such reflex. 

I do not know as there is any cure for any such condi- 
tion without paralyzing the nerv leading from the ungual 
surface of the finger. This I did not attempt to do, but 
told her to keep the finger nail closely cut, and by folloing 
out this advice she has had no more trubl from "asthmatic 
attacks." 

This wil giv some idea of the care that is necessary 
in hunting out the cans of asthma.

Case LXXXV 

Singl lady 38 years of age. Came to me for advice 
regarding her insomnia. She said she had not had a 
ful nite's sleep for upwards of five years. She said that 
she had taken all kinds of sleeping powders and dopes, 
but they left her in a worse condition. 

I regulated her diet and general hygienic habits. Inas- 
much as she had a lo blood pressure, I had her turn her 
bed so she slept with her hed to the north or south — it 
matters not which. I then had her pas a small copper 
wire under the under sheet of her bed and fasten one 
end to the mattress while the other end was carrid out 
to be attacht to a water pipe as illustrated in the text. In 
other words, I had her arrange her bed so she could 
sleep grounded. 

Within one week she was sleeping all nite without 
waking up once, and she reports that for the past five 
years she has had no more trubl from insomnia. 

One peculiar circumstance regarding this case is that 
if she has her hed directed either east or west she cannot 
sleep. This may seem like imagination but, as explaind 
In the text, this is not necessarily so, becaus the effect the 
magnetic meridian has upon the body is more than anyone 
has any idea of. 

Case LXXXVI 

A marrld lady 36 years of age was sent to me for 
diagnosis as to the caus of her "num" spels at nite. She 
would wake up in the nite with cramps or twitching In 
the legs and feet, and her feet would be num. She said 
this condition had obtaind for several years and she had 
used hot water bottls and all sorts of salvs to rub on 
her feet and legs, and had taken every kind of electrical 
treatment she herd of but without any avail. 

I advized her to soak her feet every nite in hot water 
Into which had been placed epsom salts In the proportion 
of a tablspoonful to the pint, then wipe her feet dry, 

two hundred thirty-four 



being careful to dry between the toes, and Immediately 
go to bed. This prevented the coldness of the feet which 
went with the numness but did not cure the numness of 
the feet and the twitching of the legs. 

I then ascertaind that she slept on a pillo that was quite 
thick. I advized her to sleep without any pillo. For the 
first nite she did not sleep wel, but after that she slept 
alright without a pillo, and for seven years has not had 
twitching or numness of the feet or legs. 

This shows the importance of studying the reflex con- 
ditions thruout the body. This peculiar condition of the 
feet and legs is often causd by the position of the neck in 
relation to the body while the person is asleep. 

Case LXXXVII 

Singl lady 22 years of age was sent to me for diagnosis 
becaus of lumps in the hrest. Her physicians had told her 
that it was cancer and she had been to several specialists 
who had advized a radical operation, telling her that if 
she did not hav it done she might die of cancer. 

By means of my Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic sistem of 
diagnosis I told her I was sure she had no malignant con- 
dition of the brest. This made her very happy. I regu- 
lated her diet and general habits and treated her every 
morning under the powerful incandescent lamps, treating 
not only the brests but the entire body. Within two 
months every sign of a brest lump had disappeard, and 
for several years she has been in perfect condition with- 
out any return of the lumps In the brest. 

Case LXXXVIII 

Marrid lady S6 years of age. Came to me for diag- 
nosis becaus of a lump in one of her brests. She had 
been to one of the largest surgical institutions In the 
world for examination and was told that without dout 
she had cancer of the hrest and the entire brest should 
be removed "to be on the safe side." 

two hundred thirty-jive 



She told me she had red in some of the magazines that 
I cured one out of every seven cases of lumps in the brest 
without any multilation. 

(The reports she refer d to wer that I claimd from my 
experience that only one out of seven cases of diagnosed 
cancer of the brest is cancer of the brest and the rest 
wer simpl enlargements that could be eradicated by folio- 
ing natural mesures.) 

This lady gave a Normal-MM VR and therefore I 
informd her that I was sure she had no malignant trubl. 

I regulated her diet and general habits, and treated her 
every morning with powerful radiant light, and within 
two months not a sign of a lump was in her brest, and 
her general condition was so much improved that her 
family said she appeard twenty years yunger. 

For the past five years there has been no return of 
her trubl. 

(I could cite hundreds of similar cases. The director 
of one of the largest cancer hospitals in the world told 
me that altho he had been removing so-calld cancerus 
brests and other cancers for over thirty years, yet he 
believd no true cancer was ever cured by cutting it off. 
He said that all his records and those that he could get 
from all parts of the world showd that every true cancer 
would return within one to three years, and that putting 
the patient under ether did great harm in spredding the 
cancerus condition. He said that he fully agreed with 
me when I made the statement that all so-calld cancers 
that did not return within three years after the operation 
wer not cancer but simpl growths. He also said that he 
believd not more than one out of ten cases diagnosed as 
cancer wer cancer.) 

Case LXXXIX 

Man 28 years of age came to me for advice regarding 
a carbuncl on the back of his neck. I found that he was 
a cigaret smoker and ate a great many sweets. I put him 

two hundred thirty-six 



on a very rigid raw diet and told him to cut out all 
tobacco and stimulating food and drinks of all kinds. 

I treated him from hed to foot with powerful radiant 
light and directed rays from the quartz light over the 
affected area In the neck. He made a beautiful recovery 
and, altho he had had many carbuncls before, for the 
past three years he has had no return of boils or 
carbuncls. 

I might say that he has learnd to llv -'the simpl life" 
and eats none of the devitalized foods that ar put up in 
tin cans, paper boxes, or bottls. 

Case XC 

Lady SS years of age was sent to me for diagnosis 
becaus of extreme nervusness bordering on insanity. After 
making a ful general examination I examind her pelvic 
organs and found a lump the size of a hazelnut just at 
the root of the clitoris. 

She said she had had what had been calld '^bladder 
truhV^ for several years and that about a year before 
this lump had been diagnosed as malignant and a very 
radical operation was advized. This preyd upon her mind 
to such an extent that nothing would comfort her, but 
she refused to hav any such operation performd. 

I cut open the hood of the clitoris so quickly that she 
hardly felt It and took out of the pocket a large quantity 
of concretions and albumlnus matter. 

I instituted proper local treatment as wel as giving her 
general treatment all over the body every day for four 
weeks, at the end of which time her general condition 
was practically normal, and all Irritation about the 
genitals had been removed. 

This Is a tipical case of nervusness bordering on 
Insanity becaus of irritation about the genitals and worry 
and fear.

Case XCI 

Girl 18 years of age was referd to me for treatment 
for "falling fits" or epilepsy. Her mother told me that 
she had had "fainting spels" once or twice a week ever 
since she was thirteen years old. I made a thoro exam- 
ination and found that she was suffering from malnutri- 
tion, catar of the colon, and that she had a very 
contracted hymen and hooded clitoris. 

I dilated the vagina, rellevd the Irritation about the 
clitoris, and put her on a raw fruit and vegetabl diet, and 
directed her general habits as her condition required. 

Within one week her paroxysms or fits began to gro 
les and les and after one month's treatment they ceast, 
and for over three years she has not had one fit. 

(I could cite scores of cases of epilepsy cured or greatly 
rellevd by carrying out natural, commonsense methods. 
The first requlsit Is to find the reflex Irritation causing 
these spasms and then to find out a natural, non-medical 
method of treating the condition. I do not bellev medicin 
has ever helpt epilepsy. Neither do I believ It ever wll. 
Sometimes I am abl to cure epilepsy by wiring up the 
body so as to connect one part of the body with another 
thru wire connectors, as outlined In the text, but in every 
instance I make it a point to regulate the diet and general 
habits of the patient as wel as relieving all irritating foci. 



Case XCII 

Lady 58 years of age had sufferd from constipation 
for years. She told me she had taken every advized 
remedy for constipation as wel as high and lo enemas 
but nothing relievd her condition. 

Her skin was yello and dry and she was in a truly 
miserabl condition. 

I first put her on a total fast for six days, after which 
I instructed her to eat only raw fruit, vegetabls and nuts, 

two hundred thirty-eight 



as outlined in the text. I treated her every day by inter- 
mittent traction along with vibration and spinal manipu- 
lation in connection with radiation from three 1500-watt 
incandescent lamps. 

Within two months her bowels moved regularly every 
morning and she made a splendid recovery. For the past 
three years she has not had to take a singl cathartic. 

I believ no case of constipation is ever cured by drugs. 
It must be cured by dietetic and hygienic mesures. I find 
spinal manipulation and spinal traction, along with power- 
ful, radiant light, to be the best fisical mesures for the 
condition. 

The stimulation along the spine and abdomen Is best 
carrid out by means of vibration and traction as outlined 
In the text. 



Case XCIII 

Lady 39 years of age was referd to me for diagnosis 
becaus of burning pain in the stomac. After a thoro 
examination I diagnosed the case as gastric ulcer. 

I put her on a fast for fourteen days, after which I 
gave her nothing but juice from lemons, oranges and 
grapefruit for six days. Then I put her on raw citrus 
fruit juices for brekfast and raw vegetabl juices for 
dinner and supper for seven weeks. 

Every day I treated her by means of powerful radiant 
light over the entire body, directing the light over the 
gastric region at least twenty minits at each treatment. 

I also gave her stimulation over the 5th and 6th 
thoracic vertebrae daily. 

At the end of three months she was entirely wel and 
has remaind wel for four years. 

two hundred thirty-nine 



Case XCIV 

Lady 42 years of age came to me for advice becaus 
of gas in the stomac and bowels. I diagnosed her con- 
dition as catar of the stomac and bowels. 

I mapt out a diet for her similar to that In the case 
just mentiond, and by foUoIng out the treatment as above 
outlined she was entirely rellevd of her condition within 
three months.

xcv 



Lady 32 years of age came to me becaus of an eruption 
on her hands. I diagnosed the case as eczema. I put her 
on a fast for seven days, then outlined a diet of citrus 
fruits for brekfast, raw vegetabls for dinner, and lettls 
for supper. 

For local treatment I used radiations from the quartz 
mercury-vapor lamp and the powerful incandescent lamp 
simultaneusly over the eczematus area as wel as over 
the entire body until her body was wel tand. 

Within one month the eczematus eruption was entirely 
eradicated and within two months I considerd her wel. 
By carrying out the line of diet outlined in the text she 
has had no return of her trubl. 



Case XXXVI 

Marrld man 35 yrs. of age. Complaind of pain In 
the upper sacral and lumbar region reaching to the 
sholder blades. Also pain in the groins running into 
the iliac fossae. Pain at times reacht Into the testes and 
spermatic cords. At other times pain was In hed and a 
feeling as if the hed wer in a band of Iron. The sensation 
that brot him to me was the pain over the hart which 
he thot was angina pectoris. 

two hundred forty 



This man gave a C- and an E-MM VR, Therefore I 

diagnosed him as having colitis, proctitis, and prostatitis. 
Upon rectal examination I found the rectum inflamed and 
upon examining the colon I found that also inflamed. 
Palpation thru the rectum showd the center of the pros- 
tate to be very sensitlv. This patient told me that he 
was "sexually weak" and that he often had premature 
ejaculations, but really did not care anything about sexual 
intercourse. The size and general condition of the geni- 
tals wer normal. He gave no reflex for gonorrea and 
said he had never had any venereal diseas. 

I put him on a fast of three days, allowing nothing but 
water to drink. I gave him six one-sixth grain podofiUin 
pils (Abbott) to be taken a half hour apart the nite 
before I examind him, and told him to take a good dose 
of salithia (Abbott) the folloing morning. 

The next nite I told him to take two tablspoonfuls of 
liquid albolene (McK & R). The next day I told him to 
take an enema of water as warm as he could bear it, con- 
taining a teaspoonful of baking soda to each pint of water 
and to place the fountain siringe so the outlet would be 
about three feet above his buttocks. I instructed him to 
begin the enema lying on his left side, then to rais up in 
the nee-chest position and then to go over on the right 
side, and to be about ten minits going thru these 
movements. 

The examination of this patient's urin showd 80% 
acid by the decinormal-NaOH-fenoltalein test. (Ab- 
bott's acidomer). By the fermentation test the urin 
showd a small amount of sugar. By the horismascope (a 
cold nitric acid test in Nelson Bakers & Co.'s instrument) 
no albumin was present. 

I commenst treating him by means of the pulsoidal 
current in the rectum the day after examination. Along 

two hundred forty-one 



with the pulsoldal current I used the combined light 
therapy. 

For his diet after the three-day fast I started him with 
the lemon-juice hygien for the mouth and a glas of orange 
juice for brekfast — nothing more. At noon I had him 
eat a doubl handful of watercress — nothing more. For 
supper I allowd him a small hed of lettis — nothing more. 
His supper was eaten at six o'clock and he retired at ten. 
No liquid was taken during the day but two or three 
glasses of water wer drunk on arizing. The bowels did 
not move the first day of his diet becaus they wer alredy 
empty. 

The treatment and diet, as outlined, continued for ten 
days. Then I allowd in addition to the orange juice, 
watercress and lettis, one quart of Bulgarian-lactic-acid 
milk, part to be drunk before his midday meal and part 
just before supper. 

After the first day of treatment in place of the pulsoidal 
current I used the DeVilbiss Bi-Valv Speculum to dilate 
the rectum, and allowd the light to radiate over the pros- 
tate, as illustrated in the text. This radiation continued 
for ten minits, then for ten minits I gave convectiv-heat 
treatment thru my rectal dilator and the mushroom 
heat collector. 

The third ten days of treatment wer practically the 
same as the second ten days. Of course I radiated the 
anterior part of the body in the same manner that I did 
the posterior part, folloing out tHe tecnic as illustrated 
and described in the text. After the first twenty days 
of diet as outlined above, I let him ad a grated raw 
carrot for supper and a quarter of a disc of Ry-Krisp 
with the midday meal, and the same with the evening 
meal. 

two hundred forty-two 



"Suppos. Prostans" (Regent) to be used at nite. For 
the first ten days I had him use one of the suppositories 
after each movement of the bowels. The bowels moved 
regularly every morning after the fifth day. He carrid 
out the exercizes delineated in the text to the very letter. 

In six weeks this case was what could be calld 
practically wel. He said he felt wel in every way, his 
mentality was better, all moroseness and melancolia had 
past away. He had no burning or itching sensation here 
and there, no pain anywhere, and he said marrid life 
had taken on a new aspect. His wife said she had never 
seen him so wel before, not only fisically but mentally. 

This man told me that he had no desire for any other 
kind of food and that his wife had becum accustomd to 
eating the same as he, and at the end of three months 
they had saved enuf in their household expenses to nearly 
balance my fees. 

This case was "an easy cure" from beginning to end, 
but it would not hav been had the diagnosis not been 
correct and had the treatment not been along The 
Natural Way. 



Case XXXVII 

Singl man 28 yrs. of age complaind of melancolia, 
difficulty of thinking and mental concentration. In fact he 
did not want to use his mind at all. He said he could 
not sleep at nite and was worrid all the time altho he 
was associated with a large and prosperus business. He 
complaind of erotic dreams and said he was always 
thinking of sexual matters altho in reality they did not 
interest him at all. 

This man gave a D-MM FR, that is, a gonorreal 
reflex. He told me he had never had gonorrea nor any 

two hundred forty-three 



discharge from the penis. His general looks wer those 
of a neurotic — stoop-sholderd when he walkt and when 
he sat down he "went all in a heap." He did not want 
to look me squarely in the eye and preferd to hav his 
nurse talk to me about his simptoms rather than telling 
them himself. He said he had been constipated more or 
les all his life. When he was thirteen years old he stated 
he began to masturbate a llttl, but never more than two 
or three times a week. His mind was always more or 
les upon sexual matters. He said that at the age of 
eighteen he began to hav sexual Intercourse with promis- 
cuous women, but had always taken "strict precautions" 
In regard to antisepsis and was sure he had never con- 
tracted gonorrea. 

This patient's simptoms did not sho gonorrea, but they 
did sho neurasthenia. I would never hav thot of his 
having gonorrea In his sistem had It not been that 
he gave the D-MM FR. My diagnosis was gonorreal 
Intoxication along with sexual neurasthenia. 

This man's urin showd acidity equal to 90 by the 
acidlmeter (Abbott's). 

Upon local examination I found his rectum Inflamed 
and his colon very much Inflamed. The right lobe of the 
prostate was much larger than the left but was soft. The 
Isthmus between the two lobes was very tender and he 
said he felt a very peculiar sensation at the end of the 
penis when I prest on that location thru the rectum. 

The diet mapt out for this man was Identical with 
that of Case XXXVI. I prescribed Keysall lodin for 
him, beginning with three drops three times dally and 
continuing to Increas It one drop three times a day until 
he was up to twenty drops three times dally, continued 
that three weeks, sklpt three days and began again — 
folloing out the lodin tecnic mentlond in the text.

The first day of his treatment I put my rectal dilator 
into his rectum and attacht to it the mushroom heat 
collector. I continued this with the combined-light treat- 
ment for ten minits, using the quartz light only one minit. 
I followd this by radiation over the front of the body, 
especially directed over the perineum — tabl tilted as 
illustrated. 

The second day I gave him the pulsoidal current thru 
the rectum along with the combined-light treatment. The 
next morning when he came to me he had a lot of cotton 
over the^penis and said he was having a terribl discharge. 
I took some of the pus, staind it with methylene blue, 
examind it under the microscope, and found it to be 
loaded with gonococci. It lookt like a very severe attack 
of acute gonorrea. I prescribed a gonorrea bag for him 
to wear. This severe attack of gonorrea lasted for about 
ten days, when the flo gradually subsided and he got 
entirely over it. No painful simptoms. 

The treatment for the first week was alternated with 
the radiant light in the rectum, the pulsoidal current and 
the convectiv heat thru the rectum. I kept up this mixt 
treatment, carrying out the tecnic as mentiond in the 
text, for six weeks. At the end of the fourth week he 
said he felt perfectly wel. In fact he said he never remem- 
berd feeling so wel. At the end of the sixth week he was 
having very strong erections and said he began to feel 
like "a real man." I told him to control his feelings as 
he needed all the secretion from his testes to go into his 
own sistem. 

I might mention that I had a block of wood sewd in 
a bandage for him to wear at nite so he would not lie on 
his back. Within two weeks he was abl to sleep all nite 
and at the end of six weeks he was what would be calld 
practically wel. He walkt with a different step, he could 
look you squarely in the eye and he appeard wel, and to 
all intents and purposes he was wel. 

I continued the treatment as outlined for another six 

two hundred forty-five 



weeks, allowing him littl by littl to enlarge on his diet 
until he had for brekfast a glas of orange juice folloing 
the lemon-juice mouth-hygien. For his midday meal I 
allowd him cookt vegetabls except asparagus. For his 
evening meal he had a mixt raw-vegetabl diet of water- 
cress, lettis, raw carrots, parsly, Jerusalem artichokes, 
etc. No salt or co?tdiments wer allowd in his diet. 

It is now three years since this yung men had his last 
treatment. He calld to see me within the last few days 
and told me I had performd a miracl on him and now life 
lookt rosy to him and he was contemplating marriage. He 
said he felt he was entirely wel and thankt me for his 
recovery. 

I might ad that I prescribed the Suppos. Prostans for 
the man to use indefinitly. He used one or two daily dur- 
ing his treatments with me and used metal rectal dilators 
every nite for at least three months. For nine months 
he used on an average of one prostatic suppository 
every nite. 

It might be of interest to my readers to know that this 
man's constipation was entirely cured within ten days 
and his bowels hav averaged one or two movements a 
day for the past two years. He takes no cathartics, but 
drinks the liquid in the morning and takes the exercizes 
as set forth in the text. 

Case XXXVIII 

Marrid man 45 yrs. of age. Came to me to be treated 
for what he calld "chilblains." I gave him a general 
examination and he gave a C- and an E-MM VR. There- 
fore I diagnosed his condition as auto-intoxication along 
with catar of the gall bladder, colitis, and proctitis. When 
I examind his feet I then added to my diagnosis pros- 
tatitis. There wer no signs of chilblains on his feet, but 
the burning sensation was circular and as he explaind 
it, like a ball of fire on the ball of the foot. When I 
examind this man locally I found he had proctitis, colitis, 

two hundred forty-six 



and a very sensltiv prostate. Altho he had never com- 
plaind of the prostate, yet he said he had to urinate about 
four times every nite and during the day when he had to 
urinate he had to "run" becaus he could not hold 
the urin. 

I put him on a three-day fast and put him on 
practically the same diet as that referd to in Case 
XXXVI. I treated him for the first week with the pul- 
soidal current thru the rectum and the combined-light 
treatment, folloing out the tecnic as outlined in the text. 
I also radiated light on the front of the body, as illus- 
trated and described in the text. 

After the first week's treatment with the pulsoidal 
current, I radiated light over the prostate thru the rectum. 
This I did for ten minits each day, and followd it by ten 
minits of convectiv heat thru the varius heat collectors, 
using first the mushroom style and then the larger one, 
which carrid greater heat to the prostate. 

I also instructed this patient to urinate while standing 
on-all-fours, so as to better drain the bladder. 

Within one month he did not hav to get up once during 
the nite to urinate, all irritability about the bladder had 
past away and, as he exprest it, his "chilblains" wer cured. 

This man's general helth and mentality wer greatly 
improved. In fact he said that he never felt so wel 
before in his life. His wife told me that his disposition 
had improved 1,000%. 

Case XXXIX 

Marrid man 32 yrs. of age. Was sent to me for 
diagnosis and treatment for melancolia. He said life 
had becum a burden and he wisht he could die. 

Upon examination I found he gave a C- and an E-MM 
VR and also a very pronounst H-MM VR. Therefore 
I diagnosed him as having neurasthenia concomitant with 
auto-intoxication, catar of the gall bladder, colitis, proc- 
titis, and becaus of his mental simptoms, prostatitis. 

two hundred forty-seven 



His blood pressure was only 90. (In nearly all these 
cases the blood pressure Is way belo normal.) 

Upon local examination I found this man had colitis 
of a very bad form, proctitis, hemorroids, fissures just 
within the sfincter, and a very tender prostate. 

He said he had had no desire for sexual intercourse 
for over a year. In fact he said he thot he had lost all 
his ''manhood." I told him he was just as strong as 
ever only he didn't kno it and that within two months he 
would hav the proof that I was correct. This immediately 
made him cheer up. 

I placed him upon a fast and diet as previusly out- 
lined, but after a week put him on "Kullak" three quarts 
a day, orange juice for brekfast and lettis for supper. 

I prescribed the lemon-juice hygien in the morning, as 
I do in every case. 

The treatment I gave this man was pulsoidal current 
thru the rectum one day and radiant light directed over 
the prostate thru the rectum on alternate days, convectiv 
heat thru the rectum every day, and for his home treat- 
ment I prescribed the prostatic suppositories and dilators. 
(In every instance where I prescribe rectal dilators I 
also prescribe iodex to be used as a lubricant.) 

Within two weeks this patient's simptoms of melan- 
colia had entirely past away and he said life had taken 
on a rosy hue. He said all his craving for sugars had 
past. His urin Insted of being highly acid was now 
about IS by the acidimeter. 

Within two months I had him on a diet of orange 
juice for brekfast, cookt vegetabls for dinner, and raw 
vegetabls for supper. His bowels wer moving regularly 
every morning, his sexual function had returnd, and he 
was what I could pronounce a wel man. Not only was he 
wel, but he was on the road to permanent helth becaus 
his desire for sweets and abnormal food had entirely 
left him, and his family, as wel as himself, had gotten 
into the rational-diet habit. 

two hundred forty-eight 



The folloing three cases wer reported to me by one 
of my pupils, J. H. East, M. D., of Denver, Colo. As 
these wer the first three cases that he treated after having 
lernd my method, they ar very interesting: 

Case XL 

J. H. F. Suffering with mucus colitis and sigmoiditis 
attended with obstinate constipation. Large quantities 
of mucus p^st after taking laxativs. "Sheep dung" carac- 
ter of stools. Patient waxy color and breth very offensiv. 
Hedake and lifeless. Discouraged, melancolic. 

I used Dr. White's Bi-Polar Rectal Electrode anointed 
with lodex, set the metronomic interrupter at four times 
the patient's respiration which was 18. Used my time 
clock at exactly ten minits so just enuf treatment would 
be given and no more. Used as much current as the 
patient could stand, then set the interrupter going. I 
instructed the patient regarding diet, folloing out the 
tecnic as outlined by Dr. White. 

After the sixth treatment the patient improved so he 
said he hardly recognized himself and he said life lookt 
rosier than it had before for years. It took about three 
months to make an absolute cure. He is now wel 
and harty. 

Case XLI 

An old patient of mine had a severe attack of influenza 
while I was away, and the troubl settld in his kidnys, 
bladder and prostate. Urin very offensiv and cloudy; 
acidity 80% by the decinormal NaOH indicator, and 
3% albumin. 

Treated the case the same as above and added to it 
sodoxyllin every three hours in teaspoonful doses. Also 
gave hexamethyl., arbutin, and ammonium benzoate 
tablets. Put him on fruit juices to the exclusion of all 
other diet for three days, then on vegetabl diet. For 
lunch I prescribed raw carrots. 

two hundred forty-nine 



In ten days his urin was passing in large quantities, 
clear, and the albumin reduced to 0.25%. Pains In the 
back all gon, sleeps wel, and Is getting stronger In every 
way. He is now planning to go back to business within 
two or three weeks. He says he never wants to go to a 
physician again who does not kno the latest and most 
up-to-date method for treating such diseases. 

(Six months later. The case referd to above is 
entirely wel.) 

Case XLII 

Gentleman from the East gave a history of having 
had the flu in December, 1918. After apparently recov- 
ering had frequent desire to urinate. Urin had specific 
gravity of 1035, sugar abundant. Fosfates and indican 
present. Had been losing weight and strength ever since 
his supposed recovery from the flu. Was so weak he 
could hardly get about. Did not sleep and was agitated 
and felt under a hevy strain all the time. Blood pressure 
160, pulse 96 ar;d hard. 

I prescribed a diet folloing Dr. White's sistem and 
gave him hexamethyl. compound — Abbott. 

I placed Dr. White's Binocular Electrode over the 
eyes, making gentl pressure upward. The other electrode 
I placed over the 2d and 3d cervical vertebrae, making 
pressure just enuf to be comfortabl, setting the inter- 
rupter at just 72 a minit as the patient's respiration was 
18. After a ten-minit treatment by this Pulsoldal method, 
I placed the patient on the tabl and gave him Dr. White's 
combined-light treatment — 3,000 c.p. Incandescent and 
quartz light. I then gave him oxigen-vapor inhalation. 
After the patient had drest he remarkt that he felt as if 
a miracl had alredy been performd upon him. 

Inasmuch as he had a good deal of bladder irritation 
I used Dr. White's Bl-Polar Rectal Electrode, folloing 
out the tecnic as with patient No. XL. After the twelfth 

two hundred fifty 



treatment the bladder irritation is all gon, specific gravity 
of urin is 1020, only a trace of sugar left. 

Now it is no mere chance that these conditions hav 
all improved so rapidly. My experience is that Dr. 
White's condenst out-of-doors treatment — combined- 
radiant light and oxigen vapor — along with the pulsoidal 
therapy hav relievd him of his dangerus condition and 
hav put him on the highroad to helth. 

I kno the "orthodox" doctor wil criticize what I say, 
but what care I? Every such patient is a booster and 
brings others. The progressiv physician in this manner 
gets the "cream of the trade" while the "slacker" gets 
the "skim milk." 

(I hav recievd word from Dr. East that this patient 
is practically wel. — Ed.) 

Case XLIII 

Marrid man 33 years of age. Gave a D-MM VR 
(gonorreal reflex). Gave a history of having had 
gonorrea fifteen years previus and having been "cured" 
by the injection process. Said he had smoked cigarets 
ever since he was fifteen and the doctor did not tel him 
to stop smoking when he was treating him for gonorrea. 

The simptoms that brot him to see me wer pain in 
the small of the back radiating down the right thigh and 
leg as far as the sole of the foot. These pains would cum 
on most vigorusly. At times the pains would center in 
the right nee and would be almost unendurabl. At other 
times they would shift and be in the left nee, but the 
pains in the left hip wer never so great as in the right 
hip and thigh. Said he was naturally constipated and 
always had to take something to keep his bowels open. 
About once in five or six weeks he would hav an attack 
of "bladder trubl" and would hav difficulty in urinating 
on arizing in the morning, but after a while the urin 
would start, and by flexing his trunk on his thighs he 
was abl to urinate without any special pain. The urin at 

two hundred fifty-one , 



these times was very cloudy and ful of shreds, mucus, 
and some pus, as wel as bladder and prostatic epithelia. 

Upon local examination I found the right lobe of the 
prostate very much enlarged, the left one not as large, 
but great tenderness over the center of the prostate. 

I told this patient he must abstain from use of tobacco 
and alcohol in all forms, cut out all tea, coffee, chocolate, 
cocoa, and all salt and condiments. In fact, I put him on 
a strict rational diet. 

I treated him for ten days with the combined light, 
radiating the quartz light right into the rectum thru the 
DeVilbiss bi-valv speculum. The next ten days I used 
the pulsoidal current along with convectiv heat thru the 
varius heat collectors. I prescribed "suppos. prostans," 
one to be used every nite along with a dilator and iodex. 

Within six weeks this man's condition was so improved 
that he thot he was wel and began to indulge in pastries 
and sweets. It was not many days before he had another 
attack of violent pain thru his nees, thighs and back. I 
then told him that he never could eat such food again and 
he might as wel understand it. 

For the past three months he has not had another 
attack and is adhering faithfully to the rigid diet, the 
"suppos. prostans," iodex, and the dilators. 

Case XLIV 

Marrid man SS years of age. Gave a B-MM VR 
(cancer reflex) and a D-MM VR (gonorreal reflex). 
He said he had a very severe attack of gonorrea when 
he was twenty years old, but supposed he was entirely 
cured of it. He was marrid when he was twenty-six. 
Never had any children altho they wanted some. When 
he was thirty-five he began to hav melancolia, went to 
different sanitaria for treatment, would apparently becum 
better, but would hav relapses. He had been treated by 
sounds, injections, and by local aplications on the veru- 
montanum. He said that he had been diagnosed as having 

two hundred fifty-two 



"verumontanitls." None of these treatments gave any 
lasting benefit. 

His helth for the five years before he came to me 
had been miserabl and he had to giv up activ business. 
Riding in an auto or being jard in any manner would 
make him worse. His urin would shut off entirely and he 
would hav to draw it by means of a catheter. 

I told him that he had an abscess in the prostate that 
was becumming malignant. He said he would never hav 
it operated upon, and personally I did not advize it. I 
put him on a very rigid diet of raw carrots, lettis and 
celery, and for a time he seemd to improve, but it was 
not lasting and the last I herd from him was that he was 
bedridden and not expected to survive much longer. 

This was a case of cancer of the prostate, the cancer 
having found for its site a location that had long been 
irritated. No dout had this man been treated when his 
trubl began by the methods set forth in the text he 
could hav been cured. Only the B-D-C method could hav 
diagnosed his case as cancer without cutting into the 
growth, which always enhances metastasis. 

Case XLV 

A physician 66 years of age. Gave no special 
simptoms only that he had to urinate several times during 
the nite and quite often during the day. He gave a D- 
MM VR (gonorreal reflex). This doctor told me that 
he had contracted gonorrea forty-six years before and, 
altho he had been treated by all the ''regular methods" 
known, none of them had cured his prostatic trubl. 

Upon local examination his prostate showd a fibrus 
hypertrofy. I prescribed posture treatment and the use 
of prostatic suppositories and dilators as he had no 
facilities for recieving the light and other modalities 
mentiond in the text. His condition greatly improved. 

I mention this case to sho how the MM VR test is 
reliabl even in long standing cases of gonorrea. 

two hundred fifty-three 



Case XLVI 

Man 22 years of age. Presented himself for diagnosis 
becaus he was afraid he had the "flu." Upon examination 
I found he gave a D-MM VR (gonorreal reflex). He 
said he had never had gonorrea but that he had "been 
out some." I askt him how recently he had been with 
doutful caracters and he said the day previus he had 
been out with some "girls" for "a good time" and had 
Indulged In sexual Intercourse with one of them. 

I told him that he had no "flu" according to his reflex, 
but that he had been contaminated with gonorrea. He 
did not ask for any profylactic treatment altho It was 
advized. Within ten days he was down with a most 
activ case of gonorrea. 

I mention this case to sho how the BIo-Dynamo- 
Chromatlc method of diagnosis wU not only diagnose an 
old case but wll diagnose a case twenty-four hours after 
Infection. I often reciev similar reports from my pupils. 

Case XLVII 

Lady 38 years old. Wife of a physician. Was sent 
to me for diagnosis becaus she had "lumps" in the brest. 
This lady gave a pronounst D-MM VR. Upon inquiry I 
found she had complaind for several years of a dragging, 
burning pain thru the abdomen. She said she had been 
marrid fifteen months when she began to hav the pain 
in the pelvis. She said altho she wanted children she 
had never been blest with any. 

I did not tel her what the D-MM VR indicated, but 
began treating her with radiations from the powerful 
incandescent lamp, positiv galvanism thru the vagina, and 
internal medication. I also advized the posture treat- 
ment, that is, with the foot of the couch 12 to 18 inches 
higher than the bed, and told her to lie on her abdomen 
at least three or four hours a day on this tilted couch. I 
also gave her lodin medication. 

two hundred fifty-four 



within a few months her pelvic condition was relieve! 
and the lumps in her brest disappeard and she said she 
had not felt so wel before, since she was marrld. 

Case XLVIII 

Physician. Husband of the lady mentiond above. 
Came to me for diagnosis. He gave a D-MM VR. He 
admitted that a few years previus to his marriage he 
had contracted gonorrea. He supposed he was entirely 
cured before he was marrid. 

Examination of his prostate reveald hypertrofy and 
many shreds wer found in the urin after prostatic mas- 
sage. He said he had been botherd for years with an 
irritability about the neck of the bladder and had taken 
all sorts of "regular" treatment for it. He said he thot 
the troubl came from riding a bicycl and never dreamd 
of its being from his old gonorreal infection. 

I prescribed a diet similar to that mentiond in previus 
cases, as wel as pulsoidal therapy thru the rectum and 
powerful radiant-light treatment. 

Within a short time his bladder irritation was greatly 
rellevd. He later said, "I am much improved by this 
treatment, but think of what my poor wife has sufferd, 
and think of our childless home." 

Case XLIX 

Marrid lady 35 years of age. Had been treated for 
tuberculosis for about three years but did not improve. 
Her physician brot her to me for diagnosis. She gave 
a D-MM VR. Treatment was at once begun, folloing 
out the methods as before stated. The improvement was 
very markt within one month. 

Later she was operated on for "appendicitis" and 
adhesions, at which time the surgeon said the adhesions 
wer doutless causd by gonorreal infection. 

I hav just herd from this lady direct and she said 
she was in perfect helth. She has no idea what the 
caus of her trubl was.

ase 



One of my pupils later examind this lady*s husband 
and he gave a D-MM VR. When told what this reflex 
ment, he said that he had gonorrea about twelv years 
before, but supposed It was entirely cured as he had 
been to the very best specialists and had not only taken 
the Injection method and Irrigation method, but had also 
taken mud baths, and was told that he was entirely cured. 

When he was told that he had Infected his wife, he 
said that he recalld the fact that after the first time he 
had Intercourse with his wife after having been "cured" 
of the gonorrea, he notlst a ''morning drop" for several 
weeks, but thot It was from a catarral condition of the 
prostate. 

Case LI 

Clergyman 60 years of age complaining of lumbago. 
Upon examination he gave a D-MM VR. I told him 
what this reflex ment and he said, "Wei, I hav certainly 
had my hel for the first and only offense of that kind." He 
said that forty years prevlus he had contracted gonorrea 
while in college and had been, as he supposed, cured. He 
had always been trubld more or les with frequent desire 
to urinate and with reumatic pains in first one joint and 
then In another. Later he was tormented with "dispepsia." 

He was marrld when thirty years old — ten years after 
he was Infected. Upon examination of the prostate I 
found It enlarged and sensltlv. Many shreds wer found 
in the urin past soon after massaging the prostate. 

Treatment as outlined in Case XXXVI carrld on 
for several months so improved this man's helth that he 
said he felt like a new man.

LII 



Wife of the patient mentiond in Case LI. Came to 
me for examination and treatment. She complaind of 

two hundred fifty-six 



having for years a dragging, burning sensation thru her 
pelvic organs. 

Upon examination she gave a D-MM FR. I did not 
tel her the meaning of this, but treated her with radiations 
from the powerful Incandescent lamp, posltiv galvanism 
thru the vagina, oxigen vapor and B-D-C therapy. 

I also put her on a very rigid diet, becaus she had a 
very decided colitis. Within two months she said she 
had not been so wel before In twenty-five years. 

She said she had one child, born about ten months 
after marriage, but had never been pregnant since, tho 
they desired more children. The reason for her small 
family is very evident. 

Case LIII 

Yung man about 32 years of age who was being 
treated for neurasthenia was brot to me for diagnosis. 
He gave a D-MM FR and gave a history of having 
contracted specific urethritis twelv years before. He had 
been marrld about three years and his wife for two years 
had been treated for "burning sensation" thru the pelvic 
region and hyper-sensitivness over the ovaries. 

Specific organisms wer found from "mllkings" from 
the prostate of the man and from the vaginal discharge 
of his wife. 

This patient was put on a very rigid diet and treated 
by means of powerful radiant light, oxigen vapor, and 
B-D-C therapy. 

These two cases wer not treated with the quartz light, 
but wer given the other modalities, Including stimulation 
over the 12th thoracic vertebra for the man and over the 
12th thoracic and 2d lumbar for the woman. 

Oxigen-vapor inhalation and B-D-C therapy wer used 
for about half an hour daily In each case. 

Case LIV 

A girl twelv years of age was brot to me for diagnosis. 
The simptoms given wer leukorrea with uncomfortabi 

two hundred fifty-seven 



burning sensation thru the pelvic region. In every other 
way the girl was normal and wel developt. Menstrual 
periods had begun about six months previus to my 
examination. 

This child did not giv a normal MM FR, but did 
giv a decided D-MM FR. I was obliged therefore to 
diagnose the case as gonorreal infection. When I in- 
quired into the case I lernd from the mother and her 
physician that she had been raped about five years before 
and had had more or les "leukorrea" ever since. 

Case LV 

A man was sent to me for diagnosis whose only simp- 
toms wer melancolia and chils up and down the back. 
He gave a D-MM FR and no other screen would elicit 
the MM FR. I diagnosed the case as gonorreal infec- 
tion. I had his prostate "milkt" and very many gonococci 
wer found in the excretion. 

This man gave a history of having contracted gonorrea 
eighteen years previus, and emfatically said he had not 
been exposed to the contagion since, and was positiv that 
he had never had any but the "original attack." 



.ase 



LVI 



Singl man 41 years of age in apparently robust helth 
was sent to me for diagnosis and treatment. The only 
simptom he complaind of was lack of sexual power. He 
said he had been engaged to a lady for eight years but 
did not dare marry until he knew he was "alright in every 
respect." This man's only bad habit was smoking. 

He gave a C-MM FR, which could mean sifilis or 
auto-intoxication. Local examination showd an enlarged, 
soft prostate, with sensitivness between the two 
lateral lobes. 

This patient said he had been constipated more or les 
ever since he could remember. I put him on a diet similar 
to that previusly mentiond and began to treat him with 

two hundred fifty-eight 



the pulsoldal current followd by convectiv heat thru my 
rectal dilator with heat collector attacht to It. These 
treatments occupied twenty minlts with the combined 
lights shining on his back and over the perineum, and 
twenty minits on the anterior part of the body with the 
lights directed over the penis, scrotum and perineum. He 
was instructed to hold the scrotum up during the 
perineal radiation. 

After ten days of this treatment and diet I examind 
him again, when he gave a NormaUMM VR. In the, 
meantime he had entirely given up smoking and said he 
began to feel fine. His melancolla (which all such 
patients hav) had left him and everything began to 
look bright. 

The next ten days I g^ave him powerful radiant light 
directed thru the DeVilbIss bl-valv speculum right over 
the prostate. The light was directed over the prostate for 
ten minlts during a seance and then over the anterior 
part of the body, over the perineum, under part of 
penis, and scrotum. 

At the end of the second ten days I added to the diet 
raw carrots and boild onions, same to be eaten In the 
middl of the day or, If In the evening, at least three hours 
before retiring. He was fitted with a block of wood 
fastend to a belt so he could not lie on his back. For 
home treatment he used "prostans'* suppositories and 
metal dilators with lodex. 

I allowd no meat In the diet and nothing of a stimulat- 
ing nature except the onions, which hav a very mild 
stimulating effect upon the generativ organs. 

The third ten-day period of treatment was divided up 
with the different modes of treatment thru the rectum. 

The fourth ten-day period of treatment I used the 
pulsoldal current over the eyes and 2d and 3d cervical 
vertebrae. 

The constipation at this time was entirely eradicated 
and the patient was In a very happy mood. 

two hundred fifty-nine 



At the end of the fifth ten-day period he told me that 
he thot he was in a condition to get marrid. He marrid 
and reported that he was "normal in every respect" and 
was certainly a most happy man. 

I hav recently herd from this man and he said he tvas 
in "perfect condition" and was the "happiest man 
in town." 

Case LVII 

Singl man 33 years old. Was sent to me for diagnosis. 
His leading simptom was melancolia. He gave an A^- 
MM VR and also an H-MM FR, which indicated 
incipient tuberculosis and neurasthenia. He gave a his- 
tory of at least two nocturnal emissions weekly for the 
past five years. 

I mapt out a diet for him as previusly mentiond, but 
after the first week added a half-pint of cream to be 
eaten with a glas of sweet milk, or Kullak, about two 
hours after he had taken his orange juice for brekfast. 

At the midday meal I had him eat a good handful of 
watercress, and for supper, a small hed of lettis. About 
two hours after his midday meal I allowd him to eat 
a half pint of cream and milk. My object in giving cream 
and milk was becaus he was a good deal under weight. 

After a few days I added to his diet boild onions or 
garlic for his midday and evening meals. If raw onions 
would agree, I prescribed them, but without any dressing 
except butter. 

After two weeks he was allowd half a disc of "Ry- 
Krisp" with plenty of butter on it, to be eaten during 
the day with his midday and evening meals. 

My treatment for him was the powerful combined 
lights over his entire body, and becaus of his sensitiv 
prostate and nocturnal emissions I gave him alternately 
the pulsoldal current thru the rectum and the quartz light 
thru a DeVIlbiss bi-valv speculum over the prostate. 

After the first month's treatment I occasionally gave 
him the pulsoldal current thru his eyes and over the 2d 

two hundred sixty 



and 3d cervical vertebrae. Within two weeks his noc- 
turnal emissions had entirely ceast and his general 
condition began to sho great improvement. 

After three months' treatment I discharged him as 
cured of his prostatic trubl and practically wel of his 
tuberculosis. 

I instruct tuberculus subjects to sleep out of doors 
and giv them oxigen vapor and B-D-C therapy once a 
day in the offis. I hav them use an inhaling tube and take 
deep-breathing exercizes at home. 

In all of these sensitiv-prostatic cases I direct for home 
treatment the "prostans" suppositories, rectal dilators 
and the slanting couch as illustrated in the text. 

For over two years this man has had only normal 
nocturnal emissions and as far as I can lern is in perfect 
helth. The last I herd was that he was to be marrid. 

Case LVIII 

Marrid man 32 years of age. Sent to me for diagnosis, 
his leading simptom being melancolia. He gave an H- 
MM FR, which indicated neurasthenia. He had no bad 
habits — had never smoked or drank intoxicating liquors 
- — and had always been a hard worker. 

His melancolia was greatly enhanst from the fact that 
he sufEerd from premature ejaculations, and becaus of this 
sexual weakness there had been a mutual agreement for 
separation. 

I put him on the diet as outlined previusly, arranged 
a block in a belt so he could not lie on his back, and gave 
him pulsoidal-current treatment thru the rectum for the 
first week, along with the combined-radiant-light 
treatment. 

The second week I gave him convectiv heat thru the 
rectum, using the heat collector to giv all the heat to the 
prostate that he could endure. 

The third week along with the combined-radiant-llght 
treatment I gave him the quartz light directed over the 
prostate thru the DeVilbiss bi-valv speculum. 

two hundred sixty-one 



After the second week's treatment he had not averaged 
more than one nocturnal emission a month altho he had 
been In the habit of having them nearly every nite for 
three or four years. His melancolla very rapidly left him. 

For home treatment I prescribed "prostans" supposi- 
tories, rectal dilators and lodex. After the second 
month's treatment I allowd him a more liberal diet, giv- 
ing him almost any kind of vegetabl for the mid-day meal, 
but lettis always for supper. He always had the lemon 
juice for mouth hyglen and orange juice in the morning, 
and nothing else. 

This case made a most remarkabl recovery and the 
matrimonial difficulties hav been amicably adjusted. 

Note — This case of impotency wil giv the reader a 
general idea of how I handl such cases with almost gen- 
eral success, i hav never had a case of functional 
impotency that I was not abl to greatly benefit by these 
methods, or aid Nature to cure. 

If the case be a man 60 or 70 years of age, who has 
"burnd the candl at both ends" there is not much' to do 
for him. I never prescribe afrodlslac remedies. I believ 
they ar worse than useless. // the sexual organs cannot he 
made normal by rest and natural treatments, they should 
not be forst into action by unnatural methods. 

Case LXIX 

(I am giving a report of this case to sho how I handl 
rectal fistulae. The case is tipical and the method is what 
I use with great success.) 

Marrid man 42 years of age. Sent to me for diagnosis, 
the leading simptom being a "boil" between the anus and 
the coccyx a littl to the right of the median line. 

He gave a C-MM VR and an E-MM VR. Therefore 
I diagnosed the case as colitis and proctitis. Local exam- 
ination and colon examination showed colitis and a very 
pronounst type of advanst prostatitis. ^ 

two hundred sixty-two 



The rectum had several papille or "tabs'' which 
indicate internal hemorroids. Inasmuch as these papille 
wer more or les fibrus, it showd that the internal hemor- 
roids wer of long duration. 

There wer several fissures about the anus, and the 
itching about the anus was intense, as was evidenst by 
the excoriations brot about by the acrid excretion and 
scratching. 

The "boil" I lanst and large quantities of pus came 
out. I then used a silver probe and found that the pus 
cavity was at least one inch in diameter and reacht way 
thru into the rectum above the internal sfincter and right 
by the side of one of the papille. 

By means of local anesthesia I made an external 
opening to this fistula, which was large enuf to allow 
me to curet the fistulus cavity down as far as the curet 
would go. The opening had to be made large enuf for 
packing. 

I then inserted a copper wire attacht to the positiv 
side of the galvanic current and attacht the negativ pole 
to pad electrode over the sacrum, putting over it a sand 
pad so as to make good contact. I placed one finger 
within the rectum so as to gide the copper-wire electrode, 
and pusht the copper electrode right down thru into 
the rectum. 

I then opend up the rectum with the bi-valv speculum 
so that I could see the end of the electrode projecting into 
the opend rectum. This is very important so that the 
tip of the electrode wil not tuch the other side of the 
rectum. 

I then turnd on the current up to about 1 5 milliamperes 
and left it on for about five minits, then turnd the current 
off and puld the electrode strait out. This brot with it 
the membrane along the small canal that led from the 
curetted cavity into the rectum. 

I then injected a small amount of 4% quinin-urea 
hydroclorid into the papille right by the side of the fis- 

two hundred sixty-three 



tulus opening. I packt the rectum wel with cotton coverd 
with iodex. I then swabd out the curetted fistulus cavity 
with pure fenol, and after five minits swabd it out with 
pure alcohol. I then packt it tightly with gauze saturated 
with a colloidal-silver preparation. 

After that I directed the quartz light thru a suitabl 
quartz aplicator directly over the anus to stop the itch- 
ing. The aplicator was about one inch away, and the 
exposure lasted for three minits. I then coverd the anus 
and the packing with iodex and put plenty of cotton 
between the buttocks. 

I Instructed the patient to eat nothing for forty-eight 
hours, but to take a tablspoonful of paraffin oil that nite 
and three times the next day. 

The bowels moved wel the next morning, expelling the 
cotton packing. The quinln-urea hydroclorid had causd 
the papule to so enlarge that the fistulus aperture into 
the rectum had entirely closed. The posltiv current on the 
copper electrode had "curetted" the opening down thru 
into the rectum, and at the end of forty-eight hours this 
opening was entirely closed over. 

The swelling causd by the quinln-urea hydroclorid 
lasted for three or four days. I renewd the packing along 
with colloidal silver twice a day in the fistulus cavity, and 
directed the quartz light into the rectum thru the 
DeVilbIss bi-valv speculum at each dressing. 

After the second day all Itching about the anus had 
subsided. The fissures began to heal, and within one week 
they wer all heald over. I used iodex suppositories in 
the rectum after each dressing. Over the perineum and 
wound I sprayd paraffin-wax from a DeVilbIss theromer 
after each treatment and dressing. 

Within one month the fistulus cavity had closed down 
to the size of a led pencil. I allowd It to close down in 
this manner by looser and looser packing of the cavity. 

Within eight weeks the whole cavity had closed up 
and there was a complete recovery. 

two hundred sixty-four 



The regular surgical method of treating these fistulae 
has been to cut thru the Internal sfincter. This is disastrus 
and in nine cases out of ten leavs a leaking sfincter. If 
the treatment be carrid out as above directed, the results 
ar very satisfactory. Sometimes it wll require three 
months to a year to cure one of these cases, but even 
if It took a year, it is better than to cut thru the sfincter. 

The pure fenol at the first dressing after the curettage 
wil usually find its way into all the littl ramifications about 
the fistulus opening. If there be multlpl openings into the 
rectum, they can usually be found by filling the cavity with 
methylene blue and then watching to see whether it goes 
thru into the rectum at more than one place. 

Always hav plenty, of packing put in the rectum, so if 
any fenol goes thru into the rectum it wil not irritate 
the opposit side. The quinin-urea hydroclorid wil caus 
the papille and mucus membrane around these openings 
to close up for several days, and by that time they wil 
gro together if their lining hav been removed. 

While this treatment is going on, giv paraffin oil so 
there wil be no engorgement in the rectum from feces. 
Keep the patient on a very limited diet during the 
treatment, and keep the bowels loose. 

Melted paraffin-wax over any inflamed area helps to 
reduce the inflammation and is very soothing. I always 
use the DeVilbiss theromer for this. 

The constitutional treatment for the colitis is combined 
radiant light and a diet as outlined in Case XXXVI. 

Never forget the posture treatment in all these cases 
— slanting position while treating — and hav them rest as 
much as possihl on a slanting couch at home. 

Case LX 

Marrld man 43 years of age came for examination, 
his leading simptom being itching of the anus. Upon 
examination I found a large fissure leading from the anus 
to the coccyx on the outside, and two or three large fis- 

two hundred sixty-five 



sures within the rectum. I thoroly cleand these with 
chinosol solution and then directed the quartz light thru 
apropriate aplicators in as close proximity to the fissures 
as possibl. I gave a five-minit exposure. The next day the 
membrane was blisterd and the skin on the outside 
was blisterd. 

I prescribed paraffin oil the nite after the treatment 
and a tablspoonful three times a day while the treatment 
was going on. I also prescribed a very limited diet, 
aproximately the same as in Case XXXVI. I sprayd the 
surfaces with paraffin-wax from the DeVilbiss theromer. 

Every third day I gave these exposures and spraying 
over the fissures. After the second treatment the pru- 
ritus had ceast and within two weeks the fissures had 
entirely heald. 

In this case I prescribed for home treatment a 
preparation known as "Regentol Cerate" manufactured 
by the Regent Drug Co. of Detroit, Mich. This cerate 
is made of genuin ichthyol blended with synergists in a 
very effectiv manner. It is one of the best remedies to 
use along with the fisical mesures for hemorroids, fissures 
and pruritus that I know of. lodex suppositories ar also 
very useful in these conditions. 

The folloing six cases ar given to sho the unreliability 
of the Wassermann test and to prove the reliability of 
the B-D'C test. 

Case LXI 

A man having pains which had been diagnosed as 
"neurotic pains," went to New York City to be tested by 
one of the best known sifilologists there. The reaction 
was given as Wassermann positiv. He then went to Bos- 
ton and there the test was found to be Wassermann 
negativ. Not being satisfied, he went to Philadelphia and 
there the Wassermann test was found to be negativ. Stil 
unbelieving he went to St. Louis where the test was said 
to be positiv. He went to Chicago and had two Wasser- 

two hundred sixty-six 



mann tests, one of which was negativ and one positiv. He 
then went to two other specialists in two other states and 
a modified Wassermann test was made, and the results 
wer one positiv and one negativ. 

He came to me at Los Angeles and I found that he 
gave a pronounst C-MM VR. Therefore, I diagnosed 
the case as sifilis. I ruled out auto-intoxication from the 
start becaus his bowels wer in fine condition, and outside 
his "neurotic pains" he gave no simptoms. 

He said he thot he had had sifilis at one time but did 
not kno. One year after the diagnosis, he was suffering 
from tabes dorsalis and lightning pains so that no one 
could fail to make a diagnosis of sifilis. 

Case LXII 

Another case that shows the unreliability of the 
Wassermann or other blood tests. This man gave simp- 
toms of what had been calld "lightning pains." He had 
been to several sifilologists and some diagnosed it by 
the Wassermann or other blood tests as positiv, and 
others negativ. When the man came to me he said he 
was disgusted with the methods of diagnosing calld 
"authoritativ" and wanted to see what my Bio-Dynamo- 
Chromatic sistem would sho. 

He gave a Normal-MM VR and I therefore told him 
that I knew he had no sifilis. This was a case of histeria 
brot on by sifilofobia. Time has proved this diagnosis 
was correct. 

Case LXII 

Another case was that of a marrid woman about 30 
years old who was sent to me for diagnosis. She gave a 
C-MM VR. She complaind of pains in the back with a 
num feeling in the thighs. She had been diagnosed as 
giving the negativ Wassermann. She said she had never 
been exposed to sifilis and my diagnosis was stoutly 
denied. 

two hundred sixty-seven 



Within one year she had all the simptoms of tabes 
dorsalls and there was no douting the diagnosis. Time 
has proved it to be correct. 

Case LXIII 

About six years ago a physician presented himself for 
diagnosis. He complaind of persistent hedakes, no 
appetite, melancolia, and a peculiar "woody sensation" 
about the lower half of his body. 

He gave a C-MM VR and I diagnosed the case as 
sifilis, after having satisfied myself that it was not auto- 
intoxication. This man gave no sifilitic history, but said 
he rememberd many years previus of having recievd a 
wound in one of his hands while he was examining a 
woman whom he afterward found had sifilis. 

This physician afterward had five Wassermann tests 
made, three being negativ and two positiv. Later the 
simptoms of tabes dorsalls developt, and no one could 
dout the B-D-C diagnosis. 

Case LXIV 

About four years ago a man was sent to me for 
diagnosis. He had had several Wassermann tests and 
several modified or "improved Wassermann" tests. Some 
wer negativ and some positiv. 

This man said he did not kno that he had ever been 
exposed to sifilis altho he "might hav been" years before. 

He gave a C-MM VR, but owing to the condition of 
his bowels and the fact that he also gave an E-MM VR, 
I commenst treating him with salines and other elimin- 
ants. Within three weeks I tested him again and he gave 
a Normal'MM VR. Therefore I diagnosed the case as 
neurasthenia without any signs of sifilis. 

As this man has entirely recoverd from this supposed 
sifilitic intoxication, I think there can be no dout as to 
the correctness of the B-D-C findings. 

two hundred sixty-eight 



Case LXV 

A man 33 years of age came to me for diagnosis. He 
gave a C-MM VR and an E-MM VR, and from local 
examinations I diagnosed the case as auto-intoxication 
along with colitis and proctitis. This man said that sam- 
pls of his blood had been put on blotting paper and had 
been sent to some laboratory for some kind of an "elec- 
tronic test." He said the report came back that the sampl 
of blood showd sifilis. 

He said he then went to another doctor and gave him 
two sampls of blood and askt the doctor to send the 
sampls to the same ''laboratory" and say that one was 
suspected to be from a tuberculus patient and the other 
from a cancerus patient. The findings wer reported 
according to the suggestiqns given. 

This patient was an intelligent man and wanted to 
find out what there was to it so came to me to see what 
my test would sho. 

Suitabl treatment for a few weeks entirely cleard up 
his condition. 

Note — ^As I had herd thru patients and physicians 
that there wer certain "laboratories" being conducted by 
reputabl M. D.'s, which purported to diagnose diseas 
by means of energies taken from the blood on blotting 
paper or other material, I decided to look Into the 
matter. 

I klld a hen and put sampls of her blood on two pieces 
of blotting paper. On another piece of blotting paper I 
put a vegetabl coloring matter that exactly matcht the 
color of the hen's blood. 

I suggested to a physician that he tel what he thot the 
"patient" was suffering from, for exampl, sampl G as 
being from a person suspected of having tuberculosis 
and sifilis; sampl H as from a person supposed to hav 
sifilis and gonorrea; sampl / as from a person supposed 
to hav cancer and tuberculosis. 

two hundred sixty-nine 



The reports returnd wer as follows : 

Sampl G was "tuberculosis with a taint of sifilis." 

Sampl H, "gonorrea and sifills combined." 

Sampl I, "cancer and tuberculosis with a hereditary 
taint of sifills." 

The sampls that I sent wer : 

G, a preparation made to Imitate blood when it was 
put on a piece of blotting paper or parchment paper. 

H and / wer both sampls of blood from the same hen. 

To say nothing about the fake side of this blood test, 
it has a ludicrus side. A hen brot up to stay in nltes and 
fed sanitary food to hav sifilis and gonorrea and also 
cancer, tuberculosis and Inherited sifilis is indeed sad. 

According to such "test," It Is no wonder that our 
population Is becumming "tainted." 

(The folloing three cases ar given to sho how I treat 
hemorroids hecaus everyone who makes a specialty of 
treating cronic diseases wil hav more or les cases of 
hemorroids.) 

Case LXVI 

Marrld man 60 years old was sent to me for dlagngsis. 
His leading simptoms wer vague pains thru the lumbar 
region. He had been treated on stretching tabls of 
varius kinds and had had all sorts of manipulativ 
treatment, but insted of being benefited he was made 
worse. 

He gave a D-MM VR and a C- and an E-MM VR. 
Therefore I diagnosed his condition as being gonorreal 
in combination with colitis, proctitis, and becaus of his 
lumbar pains, prostatitis. (Lumbar pains In a person who 
glvs the D-MM VR ar almost sure to indicate 
prostatitis.) 

Local examination proved that he had proctitis and 
colitis — the colitis reaching way up beyond the sigmoid, 
as evldenst by the sigmoidoscope. His prostate was very 
sensltiv In the center, and both lateral lobes wer 
hypertrofied and hard.

On the posterior wall of the rectum just above the 
internal sfincter was a very large papilla or "tab" which 
was fibrus. On the anterior wall of the rectum nearly 
opposit this "tab" wer two smaller ones. 

I askt the man how long it was since he had ^onorrea. 
He lookt astonisht and said that his first and only "dose" 
was when he was twenty-five years old — thirty-five years 
previus to my examination. He said he had no children 
and his wife had been operated on about five years after 
they wer marrid for "appendicitis" and adhesions in the 
pelvis. He said he understood the adhesions came from 
the "inflamed appendix." He said she had always sufferd 
more or les with peculiar stomac simptoms which would 
cum on about every so often and would end with a severe 
vomiting spel. Upon thinking about it, he said these 
simptoms came on soon after the operation. 

I askt him if he had ever had "the morning drop" 
and he replied that he had it for about two years after 
he was supposed to hav been cured of the gonorrea. He 
said he had had a very severe attack of gleet during his 
treatment, which lasted for nearly a year. The treat- 
ments wer injections and irrigations thru the urethra. He 
said he had some strictures which wer dilated by means 
of sounds. He said he had not had a simptom of gonorrea 
for thirty-three years. 

I put him on a diet almost identical with that mentiond 
in Case XXXVI. I told him to lie on a slanting couch 
for two or three hours a day. I treated him with the pul- 
soidal current thru the rectum, using my bi-polar rectal 
electrode, for the first week. The next week I used my 
rectal dilator along with heat collector (convectiv-heat 
treatment) . The next week I used the DeVilbiss bi-valv 
dilator and not only directed heat over the prostate but 
used quartz-light radiations thru a long, cone-shaped 
quartz aplicator — the radiations being directed against 
the papille mentiond. 

two hundred seventy-one 



I gave these quartz-light radiations for ten minits at 
a seance, the treatments being given two days apart. 

At this time the patient complaind of a discharge from 
the penis. This became worse and worse until it was 
very profuse and he had to wear cotton and a regular 
sanitary penis bag. Microscopical examination of the 
discharge showd it to be loaded with gonococci. When I 
told him what it was, he was astonisht as he said he had 
never had any ^'outside" intercourse since he had gotten 
his "dose" thirty-five years before. From my experience 
with these old cases of cronic prostatitis, I feel sure that 
the treatment had liberated pent-up gonococci in the pros- 
tate and brot on an acute attack of gonorrea. This is 
not unusual, but the remarkabl part was that so many 
years had elapst since the original attack. 

I Immediately began giving this man iodin therapy as 
outlined in the text, and treated him with the pulsoidal 
current and combined light as outlined In Case XXXVI. 
Within two weeks the acute attack of gonorrea had 
subsided and he began to feel a great deal better. 

In the meantime the rectal papille had sweld from 
the severe radiations given them, had blisterd, sluft, and 
contracted a great deal. The two anterior ones con- 
tracted enuf so that I did not do any more to them, but 
the posterior and very fibrus one remaind, so I thot best 
to tie It off with braided silk thru a tying device. Within 
two weeks this one had sluft off, and hardly a sign of the 
hemorrold was left. 

This man made an uneventful recovery and within 
three months all signs of lumbar pains had past away, 
and he said he felt better than he had before In years. 
He has becum a vegetarian and eats nothing but the 
plainest kind of food — orange juice for brekfast, raw 
or cookt vegetabls for dinner, and lettis for supper. He 
uses no salt, condiments, sugar, nor white flour. Rye bred 
is the only bred he eats and not much of that.

Case LXVII 

Wife of man In Case LXVL Was sent to me by her 
husband for diagnosis and treatment. She gave a 
D-MM VR as wel as a C- and an E-MM FR, There- 
fore my diagnosis was colitis and proctitis with a 
gonorreal Intoxication. 

She was sensitiv over the gall bladder, over the sigmoid 
flexure and over the cecum from which the appendix had 
been removed. What she told me about her operation 
coincided with what her husband had told me. She also 
said the same as he about her simptoms and stomac trubl. 

I prescribed a diet the same as outlined for her 
husband and iodin therapy. I used the powerful radiant- 
light treatment over her whole body, directing the 
radiations over the solar plexus. I also gave her radia- 
tions thru the bi-valv speculum in the rectum. I did the 
same thru the vagina on alternate days. I also gave 
oxigen-vapor inhalation and B-D-C therapy after each 
treatment by the combined lights. 

After the first three weeks' treatment her stomac 
simptoms stopt. Altho it Is two years since she had 
these treatments, she has no more trubl from her stomac, 
and she probably never wil hav If she folio out a 
careful diet. 

At the present time this lady and her husband both 
giv a Normal-MM VR. Therefore I can say that their 
gonorreal intoxication has been eradicated from their 
sistems. 

This patient's constipation ceast after the first month's 
treatment, and altho she is fifty-six years of age, she 
says she feels as if she wer not over twenty-five. 

Case LXVIII 

Marrid man 38 years of age was sent to me for 
diagnosis becaus of melancolla and anemia. He gave a 
C- and an E-MM VR and another reflex that indicated 
anemia and neurasthenia. From the B-D-C diagnosis I 

two hundred seventy-three 



estimated that his hemoglobin would be about 75%. 
Actual test by the Tallqvist method shows it to be 70%. 

Local examination showd this patient to hav colitis, 
proctitis, and hemorroids both internal and external, and 
several "tabs" about the anus which indicated old external 
hemorroids. Palpation showd a very sensitiv prostate 
and he said that he had been afflicted with premature 
ejaculations for many years, so much so that he had 
lost nearly all sexual power. 

I treated him by means of the pulsoidal current thru 
my bi-polar rectal electrode thru the rectum daily along 
with the combined radiant-light treatment for two weeks, 
after which I gave him radiant-light treatment in the 
rectum and within a week alternated that with convectiv 
heat in the rectum. 

In one month this patient's anemia was practically 
cured. In other words his hemoglobin was normal and, 
altho I did not hav his blood counted, to all appearances 
he was normal in that respect. 

After the first month's treatment I gave him the pul- 
soidal current thru the eyes and over the 3d cervical 
vertebra every other day, and carrid on the treatment 
thru the rectum sometimes thru the speculum and some- 
times by means of the convectiv heat. 

After I had gotten him in what was nearly a normal 
condition I set about to cure his hemorroids. His consti- 
pation had ceast and his general condition was almost 
perfect. I used a copper hemorroidal electrode and gave 
him positiv galvanism, about 15 milliamperes, every other 
day for three treatments. The external tabs I tied off 
by means of braided silk. 

Within two weeks the tabs had entirely sluft away, 
and the Internal hemorroids wer cured. For two years his 
condition has remaind perfect. He recently said Ms 
sexual power is as good as it was when he was twenty 
years old, and at that time it was very vigorus. 

two hundred seventy-four 



(Had the Internal hemorrolds been hard and fibrus, 
galvanism would not hav removed them. Sometimes I 
use injections of quinin and urea hydrochlorid about the 
soft hemorroids, but usually can cure them without it.) 

Case LXIX 

Singl man about forty years of age and weighing about 
fifty pounds more than he should. Was taken with dizzy 
spels which developt into fainting spels and later into 
great soreness thru the abdomen. He consulted several 
physicians and they referd him to surgeons. He was 
told that some tumor must be growing in the abdomen 
or some manner of degeneration must be going on, and 
the only way to remedy the trubl would be an extensiv 
abdominal operation. 

He straitend up his affairs for what he expected would 
be his "last call." He collected all his securities and put 
them in a safe-deposit vault and arranged everything for 
his demise. All his affairs wer made redy by a certain 
Friday nite and he was to go to the hospital the folloing 
Sunday and be operated on Monday morning. 

He chanst to go into a mercantile house and incidentally 
mentiond what he was going to do. Someone advized him 
to call me up and make an appointment for an examin- 
ation immediately. This he did, and I arranged to 
diagnose him at 1 :30 p. m. that very day. 

He enterd my offis in a very agitated condition. As 
soon as he became quiet, I put him into my darkend room, 
had him strip, and proceded to examin him by the Bio- 
Dynamo-Chromatic method. In order that he might hav 
a chance to accustom himself to standing on the turn 
tabl before I began air-colum percussion over his abdo- 
men, I took the stethoscope and llstend for the colonic 
fenomenon. The peculiar sounds wer much in evidence, 
but the one over the gall bladder was more pronounst 
than common. I then turnd him facing exactly north or 
south, and all these sounds wer greatly exaggerated. I

then turnd him back facing east or west, obtaind the 
Working Line, and then turnd him facing north or south. 
I discoverd that he gave an E and a C-MM VR, (This 
E and C-MM VR is always present in anyone who shows 
the colonic fenomenon.) This patient also gave a 
D'-MM VR. 

I took this patient's blood pressure and found It to be 
a llttl high. 

My diagnosis from these findings was colitis with 
hepatic congestion, relaxation of the splancnic vessels, and 
cronic gonorreal intoxication. 

Up to this time the patient had told me nothing except 
his name and address. After the examination, he told me 
that seven years prevlus he had contracted gonorrea 
but supposed he had been cured In one month. He said 
he had never been sick, but that about a month before 
he began to feel bloated, dizzy, and at times faint. The 
faint feeling was always remedied by lying flat on his 
back. He said he had never smoked and had never drunk 
any Intoxicating liquors, but he had been a high liver. 
He said his food averaged from three to six dollars a 
day, and had for the last three years. His occupation was 
"sight-seeing and killing time." 

Upon examing his colon I found it to be greatly 
Inflamed and cherry red, and containing quantities of 
mucus. His prostate showd great sensitivness over the 
verumontanum or Isthmus. His teeth wer in good con- 
dition. In fact, he had no soreness In any part of his 
body except in the abdomen, over the gall bladder, and 
over the prostate. I also found he had falling arches. 

I advized him to telefone the hospital that he would 
not be there and to cancel his engagement with the sur- 
geon. I told him to eat nothing and drink nothing but 
water until I told him to, and to report for treatment the 
folloing Monday morning. I gave him a good cathartic 
and told him to drink all the water he wanted. 

I treated him by means of the pulsoldal current thru 

two hundred seventy-six 



the rectum, combined radiant light over the abdomen 
and back, and oxigen-vapor Inhalation along with inter- 
mittent light thru the £-ChromatIc Screen. 

He ate nothing and drank nothing but water for 
twenty-one days, at the end of which time he had lost 
forty pounds. I had arch supports made for him, and 
he took daily walks of from ten to twenty miles. 

At the end of twenty-one days I put him on six ounces 
of freshly expresst orange juice three times daily, and 
also Instructed him to use lemon juice for his teeth and 
throat, as outlined in the text. He continued on lemon 
juice and orange juice in this manner for three days, 
when I allowd raw lettis and raw carrots for his supper 
insted of the. orange juice. This diet he kept up for one 
week, after which I allowd lettis, raw carrots and raw 
cabbage for dinner, and lettis for supper, but nothing 
but lemon juice and orange juice for brekfast. 

At the end of another two weeks this patient had lost 
ten pounds more, which was a reduction of fifty pounds 
in one month, making him weigh what he should accord- 
ing to his height. He took daily swims in the ocean and 
did all sorts of athletic stunts, the princlpl one being 
walking on-all-fours, and carrying out prescribed 
exercizes. 

The cost of this man's diet for three months, folloing 
my course of treatments, averaged les than eighteen cents 
a day, and he has been in perfect helth. He said he did 
not kno when he had felt so wel. His whole mental 
attitude had changed. Last, but not least, he gave a 
Normal-MM VR, and his blood pressure was normal. 
He is now taking an extended trip thruout the United 
States, and he said he would spred the gospel of B-D-C 
diagnosis and Condenst Out-of-Doors Treatment at every 
stopping place. 

Case LXX 

Marrid man fifty-five years of age came to me for an 
examination and advice. From the top of his hed to the 

two hundred seventy-seven 



sole of his feet he was coverd with great sorlatic scales. 
His hed was so thickly encrusted that it was impossibl to 
comb his hair, and no part of the scalp could be seen. 

He gave the colonic fenomenon and a C-, E-, and 
J^-MM FR, which indicated colitis along with incipient 
tuberculosis. 

Upon examining his rectum I found his buttocks 
excoriated for at least three inches in diameter from the 
anus. The anus was ful of fissures, and he said he had 
sufferd "the tortures of hel" with his rectum for the past 
three or four years. In fact, he had sufferd so much that 
he had given up business and was prepared to commit 
suicide it ]ie could not get relief. He said his hed had 
been a mas of scales for years. His first scales began 
to appear twenty years ago. He said he had been to 
the best skin doctors in the United States and they had 
pronounst his case incurabl. They had prescribed all 
sorts of salvs, ointments, and washes, but none had done 
any good, and some had aggravated the condition. 

I put him on the same kind of diet as outlined above, 
but had him fast only five days becaus of his emaciated 
condition. 

Owing to the excoriated and fissured anus, I could not 
enter an electrode, but used a small, specially constructed 
rectal dilator, and gradually dilated the rectum while 
he was under the powerful lights. I directed the radia- 
tions from the powerful incandescent lamp over his but- 
tocks which he held apart. This dilator being of hevy 
metal, conveyd the heat directly into the rectum. I treated 
him on a tabl, the foot of which was at least twelv inches 
higher than the hed. 

I commenst using actinic rays over his body, gradually 
increasing the treatment from a minit a day until he could 
take the radiations from two- three, or four lamps to- 
gether for ten minits. 

I had his hair shingld and all the hair on his body 
cut off as close as possibl. As he was of a hairy nature, 

two hundred seventy-eight 



this was a difficult task. Within three weeks his scalp 
was in such condition that he could be shaved. 

After each treatment I anointed his body with iodex. 
After four weeks' treatment I had him begin to ad to 
his raw fruit and vegetabl diet, baked potatoes, butter, 
cream, and sientifically-sourd milk. I forbade all salt, 
bred, sugar, and condiments, and tobacco and alcohol. 

Within five weeks this man's skin from hed to foot 
was perfectly free from scales. All the excoriation about 
the anus was heald, and a large dilator could be used in 
the rectum, into which I radiated actinic rays of light 
until the mucus membrane was the color of chocolate. 
The rectum was entirely wel and the colitis was cured. 

Others made varius tests to ascertain whether my 
diagnosis for tuberculosis wer correct, and they gave their 
findings as "tuberculus lesion in the upper lobe of the 
right lung," which was the same as my findings by the 
B-D-C method. 

Insted of being unabl to sleep without opiates, he is 
now abl to sleep soundly thruout the whole nite. His 
extremely nervus condition is entirely rectified and except 
for a slight morning cof which stil persists, he can be 
clast as an absolutely wel man. 

This whole change has been brot about inside of three 
months of treatment. I hav told this patient that the 
soriasis is liabl to return in a mild form inside of a year, 
when two weeks' treatment wil entirely clear it up, but 
the chances ar that it wil never return if he adheres to the 
diet he is now folloing. (No return after a year.) 

I find in these cases of soriasis that after the scales ar 
entirely eradicated the condition wil not return if the 
patient adheres to a raw, mono-diet, namely, fruit for 
one meal and raw vegetabls for the other two meals. 

Case LXXI 

Marrid lady about thirty-five years of age. Had been 
marrid over t^velv years. She was sent to me for diag- 
nosis as to the caus of her severe dysmenorrea and 

two hundred seventy-nine 



frigidity. She had no children. Her husband was strong 
and harty. 

Upon examination by the B-D-C method, I elicited a 
C- and E-MM VR. The colonic fenomenon was also 
present. Therefore I diagnosed her case as cronic colitis 
with pelvic congestion. So great was this lady's pelvic 
congestion that her femoral vein was quite badly vari- 
cosed. She had no hemorroids and had never been 
constipated. 

She was athletic and did all sorts of exercizes, and so 
could not believ that the diagnosis of colitis was correct. 
Therefore I made a sigmoidoscopic examination, which 
reveald the fact that she had colitis very badly, altho she 
did not exhibit much proctitis. 

Near the junction of the colon with the rectum, the 
veins wer badly congested. 

This of course gave the cue to the highly nervus 
condition and to simptoms that she described to me that 
borderd on epileptiform seizures. 

I put her on a water fast for six days and then on 
orange juice for six days more, allowing twelv ounces of 
orange juice daily. Then I added lettis and raw carrots 
to her midday meal and her evening meal. Along with 
the orange juice in the morning I allowd lemon juice 
and water, and told her to wash her teeth in water mixt 
up in the pulp of the lemon peel as described in the text. 

I treated her with the pulsoidal current thru my 
bi-polar rectal electrode ten minits daily, using in 
conjunction with it radiations from the 1500-watt incan- 
descent lamp combined with the radiations from the 
quartz, mercury-vapor lamp. 

After a week of this treatment I began gradual dilation 
of the rectum so as to allow the combined lights to radiate 
into the rectum. The tabl was tilted so the foot was twelv 
inches higher than the hed during the treatments. These 
treatments wer followd by twenty minits from the 
Bachelet Magnetic-Wave Generator. (See text.) 

two hundred eighty 



I had her use a rectal electrode containing a small 
galvanic battery every nite. 

After two weeks of treatment I unhooded the clitoris 
and began using the pulsoidal current from the bi-polar 
rectal electrode in the vagina, alternating this daily with 
radiant-light energy thru a speculum into the vagina. 

After three weeks' treatment she had her menstrual 
period without any pain whatever. I continued to treat 
her for another month and the next period came on with- 
out any pain, and she had no inconvenience from pain 
during the whole period. 

After the second period, she began to lose all simptoms 
of frigidity and within three months she was in every 
way a sexually normal woman. Her husband told me he 
never dreamd that such a change could be wrought in 
any person. 

This case illustrates very wel the fact that colitis is 
the etiological factor in a great majority of pelvic dis- 
eases in women as wel as in men.

LXXII 



Singl lady about thirty years of age was sent to me for 
diagnosis. She told me nothing concerning her condition. 
According to the B-D-C method, she gave an A-MM FR, 
Indicating tuberculosis fairly wel advanst. I located the 
lesion as being in the upper part of the bronchial tubes 
and throat. From the left side of the larynx I could 
conduct energy to my energy conductor when it was twelv 
inches distant from the throat. This energy was dissi- 
pated by the ruby light. Therefore my diagnosis was 
tuberculosis of the larynx fairly wel advanst. 

This lady was greatly surprized at the diagnosis as 
she said she had been to the best diagnosticians between 
Chicago and San Francisco and they told her she had 
laryngitis combined with bronchitis. 

I told her that I did not care to treat her case and 
explaind the seriousness of her condition, and advized 

two hundred eighty-one 



her to llv out of doors as much as posslbl, and eat such 
food as agreed with her, but not to do any stuffing. Owing 
to the soreness of her throat, I told her that probably 
rich milk and gruels wer the best things for her. 

When she went away she told me she would folio my 
directions and would let me kno how she got along. I 
herd nothing from her until about two years after when a 
gentleman calld at my offis and said he was the executor 
of this lady's estate.. He brot a legacy the lady had left 
me as an apreciation of the fact that I was the only one 
who had diagnosed her case correctly, as had been proved 
to her by time. The deth certificate said the cause of her 
deth was 'laryngeal tuberculosis J' 

One of my pupils, a physician in Anthony, Kansas, in 
April, 1920, sent me many reports of which the folloing 
ar two cases: 

Before this doctor became so enthusiastic over my 
B-D-C method of Diagnosis and Condenst Out-of-Doors 
Method of Treatment he saw his brother-in-law cured of 
advanst tuberculosis by folloing out my Condenst Out- 
of-Doors sistem of treatment. 

Case LXXIII 

Marrid man aged 42. Referd to me eight months 
ago. Had been in Wichita Hospital for some weeks but 
had been sent home with statement that nothing more 
could be done for him, as he was suffering with tuber- 
culosis and must immediately start for Arizona if he 
hoped to liv. 

Not being financially abl to go West, he was referrd 
to me. For one month he was brot to my offis in a hack, 
not being abl to walk the four blocks between his home 
and my offis. 

After treating him daily for a month, folloing out 
your Condenst Out-of-Doors method of treatment, he 
was abl to walk down for his treatments and was free 
from fever, and gaind strength satisfactorily. 

two hundred eighty-two 



I hav now treated him every-other-day since the first 
month and he is today back at his old job as insurance 
agent, driving his own car, and sometimes takes me out 
on emergency cases. 

Case LXXIV 

Marrid woman 67 years old. Mother of five children. 
Usually in good helth. Went to Chicago in September, 
1919, to visit a son, took a severe cold, and was up and 
down all winter with a catarral bronchitis. Her doctor 
had given her vaccins and drugs until he had becum dis- 
couraged and told her he could do nothing more for her. 

She drifted to me and askt me if I could do anything 
for the "music" in her chest and her complete los of 
appetite. She said she could not get wel and was con- 
tinually taking more cold. That was Feb. 19, 1920. I 
treated her according to your Condenst Out-of-Doors 
sistem until Apr. 6, 1920, at which time she was so 
recoverd that she was abl to go to church in comfort, 
sleeps wel, and is mighty enthusiastic over what has been 
done for her. 



Hart conditions in both yung and old I hav remarkabl 
success with by means of diet and the condenst out-of- 
doors sistem of treatment as outlined in the text. 

Tuberculosis. I could cite over two hundred cases 
treated during the past two years by the method outlined 
in the text with a los of only one patient, and she insisted 
upon eating milk and raw egs contrary to my advice. I 
hardly ever allow a person with tuberculosis to eat milk 
or egs. If they hav any milk it is sientifically sourd milk 
or that described in the text as ^^KullakJ' If I allow any 
egs, I allow not more than two a day and hav them 
prepared in the f olloing manner : 

In a basin of boiling water place a quart bowl. In 
that bowl place a piece of butter about the size of an 
English walnut. To this ad a few drops of the juice of 

two hundred eighty-three 



garlic or onions If the patient likes It. If not, use some 
other vegetabl juice or lemon juice. When the butter Is 
melted and the water Is boiling around the bowl, break 
one or two egs Into the bowl and start beating with an 
eg beater. The fire can be turnd off as soon as the eg 
is put Into the bowl. Continue beating the eg for about 
a minlt. Then pour It Into another bowl — warm, but not 
hot. If the beaten eg Is left in the hot bowl the albumin 
coagulates about the bowl and makes the frappe lumpy. 
If, however, it is pourd out, the albumin wil not be coag- 
ulated in lumps and the eg wil be cookt in such a manner 
that the albumin is not coagulated and neither is the eg 
raw. It is the most easily digested eg preparation that 
I kno about. 

A person can eat egs prepared In this manner when 
they cannot eat them In any other way. 

If a person wish to make this eg frappe more fluffy, 
they can ad a tablspoonful of hot water to the eg before 
beginning the beating. If this Is done one eg wil fil a 
quart bowl. 

This eg frappe is eaten while hot. 

/ believ that the so-calld orthodox method of feeding 
milk and egs kits more peopl with tuberculosis than the 
diseas itself. 

Raw fruit by itself and vegetabls by themselvs, and 
garden herbs by themselvs, along with water cres, alfalfa, 
etc., as outlined in the text I find to be the only reliabl 
diet for a tuberculus patient. 

The therapeutic mesures that I employ with almost 
100% success ar radiations from the quartz mercury- 
vapor lamp in combination with radiations from one, 
two or three 1500-watt incandescent lamps all used at 
one time. I giv from ten to twenty minlts' exposure on the 
front of the body and the same on the back of the body. 
I then hav the patient take oxigen vapor along with 
B-D-C therapy for about twenty minlts. These treat- 
ments I giv six days a week. 

two hundred eighty-four 



By carrying out these methods I hav been abl to cure 
within from three to twelv months nearly 100% of 
tuberculosis cases In all stages, if the patient is abl to 
cum to my place. 

Every tuberculus patient lacks calcium salts, and these 
salts, as wel as the other mineral salts, cannot be obtaind 
in any other manner than thru the vegetabl kingdom 
without injuring the patients. 

I allow no meat except fish to a tuberculus patient but 
allow baked or boild fish not more than two times a week. 

My entire method of treating tuberculosis Is thoroly 
Illustrated and described In the text. 

Hay Fever as wel as all of the respiratory neuroses I 
find ar best treated by means of diet and my condenst 
out-of-doors sistem. 

Brighfs Diseas as wel as all other kidny lesions I treat 
by means of diet and the condenst out-of-doors sistem. 

Diabetes Is treated in the same maimer. 

(Note — At least 40% of all cases of diabetes mellltus 
sooner or later hav tuberculosis.) 

Neither Bright's Diseas nor Diabetes must be con- 
siderd as fatal diseases, becaus my experience is that if 
the right dietetic mesures ar carrid out and natural, drug- 
less methods ar used for treatment, the patient's wil liv 
to a good old age and die of something else. 
Pyorrea (Pyorrea Alveolar is) 

The popular idea that the teeth must be extracted for 
pyorrea I believ Is entirely rong. I hav treated, by the 
method outlined in the text, scores of cases without a 
singl failure, and I do not think anyone would hav any 
failure In treating pyorrea alveolaris if they wil folio 
out The Natural Way as there illustrated and described. 

The whole plan Is to use citrus fruit juices when first 
arizing in the morning, and to scrub the teeth wel with 
water mixt up in the pulp of the lemon peel. That along 
with proper diet wil In every Instance not only cure 
pyorrea alveolaris, but wil prevent it. 

two hundred eighty-five 



It Is a terrlbl custom to extract teeth becaus of pyorrea. 
It is very easy to destroy tissue or to remove some part 
of the body, but one's trubls hav just begun after mutila- 
tion has taken place. 

No false teeth can take the place of the natural teeth, 
altho false teeth ar better than no teeth. However, there 
Is a stimulation of the gastric juices causd by masticating 
with the natural teeth that never can be duplicated by 
artificial mesures. - 

In the Seventh Edition of My Lecture Course to 
Physicians over 350 clinical cases ar given, and I do 
not think the reader would be benefited if I cited any 
more clinical cases here. 

As before stated, every diseas Is best treated by taking 
away fear and substituting cheerfulness. This Is the first 
mesure. The next mesure is a rational diet, and the diets 
outlined in most of the textbooks on the subject ar as far 
from right as anything can be. 

No sistem of dietetics that has been studied on animals 
or in test tubes can ever fit the human being. 

Cooking any food changes Its natural condition Into 
an unnatural condition, and Its solubl salts ar made 
insolubl. In other words, the vitamins or natural-salt 
combinations, ar rulnd. 

The watch spring makes the watch go, but If that 
spring be heated its life departs and no chemist can tel 
where that life has gon. Neither can they tel by any 
chemical anallsis whether it has gon or not. We simply 
kno that the watch wll not go. 

A piece of magnetized steel has the same chemical 
test as when it Is not magnetized yet there is life or 
energy there that wll attract a needl to it. 

Heat that magnetized steel and Its life wll depart and 
no chemist can tel where it has gon. Neither can he tel 
by any chemical test the difference between the mag- 
netized and the de-magnetized steel. 

two hundred eighty-six 



Just so with natural foods. They hav life in them as 
derived from the sun and the natural forces of the erth. 
Heat them, however, and that life is dissipated, and in- 
sted of eating a food that has "spring" or life to it one 
is eating a ded food — that which wil not "make the 
wheels go round." 

The third principl in the treating of all diseas is 
natural methods such as sunlight, or artificial sunlight, 
which can now be obtaind from powerful lights. 

Fresh, unadulterated air, or what is better, ozonated 
air, which is similar to that found at high altitudes, is 
another mesure. 

In short, if one folio out Nature's laws no other 
remedial agencies ar required. If, however, one has errd 
and gon astray from Nature's way and has becum il, the 
only rational way of gaining helth is along The Natural 
Way.

FOTOTHERAPY AND ITS RELATION TO 
PUBLIC HELTH* * .. 

By George Starr White, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D., F.S.Sc.Lond., 
Los Angeles, Calif. 

To adequately discuss so great a subject as Radiant- 
Light Therapy and its relation to public helth in a short 
paper is quite out of reason. I can only tuch some of the 
"high lights" of this radiant subject. 

Heliotherapy is a clas by itself. Altho Heliotherapy — 
sunlight — has been practist since time immemorial, yet its 
possibilities ar only just glinting thru the mist of investi- 
gation. 

Notwithstanding the marvelus effect of sunlight in the 
cure of diseas, it is impracticabl for most of us becaus of 
climatic and so-calld civilized conditions. 

Light, whether it be from the sun or from a powerful 
incandescent lamp, to be of any particular use must cum 
in contact with the bare skin. One can just as wel gro 
potatoes in a light-proof box or read in a pitch dark room 
as to treat diseas by means of radiant light thru clothing. 

Let us imagin that we livd where we could go naked and 
where no dust nor clouds obscured the sun. Even in such 
conditions the intense effect of radiant sunlight could be 
improved upon for treating diseas. The reason is that the 
nearer the source of the light is to the part being treated, 
the greater ar the therapeutic results. 

To those not acquainted with radiant-light therapy, this 
may seem incredibl, but what I say regarding radiant light 
from any source, I kno from actual clinical experience. 

Argue as yu might, sunlight therapy is not practical for 
the average practician. Hence we must look to artificial 
radiant light as a curativ mesure. 

In 1882 I made my first radiant-light therapeutic outfit. 
I took four of the Edison carbon-filament lamps and attacht 
them under an inverted, bright, new dishpan, and sus- 
pended that over the patient. My preceptor said it workt 
wonders in relieving pain. 

♦Ritten by request to be red at the Annual meeting of the Cali- 
fornia State Homeopathic Medical Association, 1920. 

two hundred ninety-one 



I then took a barrel and knockt out its ends, and sus- 
pended some Edison carbon-filament lamps at the upper 
side of it, and coverd the ends of the barrel staves with 
cloth. We would put the patient's body on a blanket laid 
lengthwize of the barrel, and close the cloth about it. My 
preceptor said that was a great aid in treating reumatism, 
neuritis, and abdominal pains, as wel as pains of any other 
description. 

Thus I began the construction and use of radiant-light 
outfits. I hav been interested in one way or another in every 
advancement in the construction and use of radiant light 
apparatus, and hav records of thousands of cases treated 
by radiant light. 

The carbon-filament lamps had one great disadvantage. 
They would burn the patient unless continually moved, and 
that made it impossibl for a physician to treat more than 
one patient at a time. Besides this, the carbon-filament 
lamp gave so much more heat than light that it was not a 
balanst modality. 

As soon as gas-fild lamps wer availabl I began experi- 
menting with them therapeutically. By grouping several 
of the smaller ones together I found that I obtaind clinical 
results that wer different than those obtaind by using a 
high-amperage, carbon-filament lamp. After an extended 
series of experiments, I gave up the use of the gas-fild lamps 
in clusters becaus the results wer not at all satisfactory. I 
saw, however, that there wer great possibilities in a high- 
amperage, gas-fild lamp, and arranged with the lamp manu- 
facturers to make me some gas-fild lamps drawing from 8 
to 10 amperes of current. It was thus that I developt the 
tecnic for the use of the 1000-watt and later the 1500- watt 
gas-fild lamp. 

I was at a disadvantage, however, in using the gas-fild 
lamps in reflectors made for the carboa-filament lamps, 
becaus the reflecting surface made foci that wer very dis- 
agreeabl to the patient. This has now been obviated, and 
thru the co-operation of many fisio-therapeutists and manu- 
facturers, we hav developt a reflector for use with the 
1500-watt, gas-fild lamp that wil giv no focus, and has 
a reflecting surface that is permanent — it being made of 

two hundred ninety-two 



spun steel coverd with baked enamel in eg-shel or blotter- 
surface finish. 

The construction of the reflector made it imperativ that 
it be near by the globe, but great heat was conveyd to the 
reflector. However, we developt a ventilating sistem to 
get the maximum amount of good from the lamp. 

All these obstacls hav now been overcum and we hav 
in 1920 what appears to be a perfect, radiant-light outfit 
carrying a 1500-watt, gas-fild globe. 

This outfit is the cumulation of thirty-eight years of 
clinical experience in radiant-light therapeutics. I hav gon 
into detail regarding the development of these lamps becaus 
the possibilities of Radiant-Light Therapy ar limitless, and 
now that the many objectionabl features in all other types 
of lamp reflectors hav been overcum, there is no reason why 
Radiant-Light Therapy cannot now be employd on a large 
scale not only in private practis but in public institutions 
for the good of the public helth. 

This perfected Radiant-Light outfit is manufactured by 
the Burdick Cabinet Co., Milton, Wis. 

Thousands of physicians now kno the great and lasting 
effects of radiant-light therapy in private practis. What is 
good for private practis is good for the public helth, and 
to hav radiant light a benefit to the public, institutions under 
the direction of public helth offisers should be equipt with 
radiant-light outfits. 

Heretofore it has been impractical for such institutions 
to be equipt with lamps for this purpose becaus it required 
so much practis to handl them and becaus the attendant 
could look after only one person at a time. I hav now de- 
velopt a tecnic whereby one attendant, after a littl tutoring, 
can handl efficiently from six to twelv patients in as many 
different rooms, at one time. This is done by using time 
clocks and time-clock switches so the patient wil kno when 
to turn over, or the attendant wil kno when to look after 
a certain patient. 

The tecnic for radiant-light exposure for neuritis is to 
radiate not only the affected part but the whole body. 
Neuritis can never be cured by treating the affected part 
alone. The whole condition of the body must be made right 
at the same time the affected part is made right. The time 

two hundred ninety-three 



of radiation in such cases depends upon the condition of 
the patient's skin and how near the lamp can be brot to 
the affected part. As a rule, if the lamp directed over the 
affected part can be brot within twelv or fifteen inches of 
the skin, the treatment wil last twenty minits. At the same 
time one or two other lamps wil be radiating on the entire 
body. The lamps for general radiation can be twenty-four 
to thirty-six inches from the skin. 

For ulcer of the stomac, the same tecnic is carrid out, 
only the radiation over the stomac should last for at least 
half an hour at a treatment. 

For shel shock or nervus shock, the tecnic is to radiate 
the posterior part of the body first with one, two or three 
lamps about thirty-six inches distant from the body for 
ten or fifteen minits and then giv a similar radiation on the 
anterior part of the body. Powerful radiant light relaxes 
tissue in a manner that no other modality ever has or ever 
can. Therefore it is the treatment par excellence for all 
nervus conditions and all reumatic or neurotic conditions. 
In fact, for any condition where one wishes to powerfully 
affect the metabolism, powerful radiant light, properly 
aplied, is more efficacious than any other known modality. 

Now I wish to mention one of the greatest uses for which 
powerful radiant-light therapy is positivly known to be of 
paramount importance, and that is for tuberculosis. I am 
prepared to prove by clinical experience that powerful 
radiant-light therapy, along with the proper diet, wil cure 
the majority of cases of tuberculosis. I now hav pupils in 
every part of the world who ar using this modality for 
tuberculosis, and I am recieving scores of reports that 
sound really too good to be true and almost incredibl wer 
I not in a position to kno that they ar true. 

It is only within the last two weeks that I recievd a 
report from one of my pupils in Kansas who has made a 
specialty of treating tuberculosis in a sanitarium for years. 
He had becum discouraged becaus he said his cures wer not 
over fifty per cent, and he could not get beyond that. After 
fitting up for radiant-light therapy and being drild in the 
tecnic for handling tuberculosis cases with radiant light and 
proper diet, he says that for the past year his cures hav 
been practically one hundred per cent. So delited is he 

two hundred ninety-four 



over his work and so great has been his increas in patients 
that he is now bilding larger places for carrying on the 
work. 

Personally I hav treated a great many cases of tuber- 
culosis in all stages by means of diet and powerful radiant- 
light therapy. My percentage of cures ar way beyond any- 
thing that I was ever abl to attain by any other method, and 
I believ they ar larger than those of anyone employing any 
other method. During the past two years my percentage of 
cures has been above 95%. This to the unitiated sounds 
incredibl, but I hav no reason to exaggerate the reports. 

Becaus of limited facilities and limited time, I hav had 
to refuse more patients than I hav treated, and it seems a 
pity that more physicians ar not equipt for treating tuber- 
culosis, at least, in a manner that wil bring greater aid to 
the public helth than any other procedure that I kno 
anything about. 

The folloing clinical cases wil giv some idea of my tecnic, 
plan of diet, and results. 

Case I 

Marrid man 42 years old. Had been diagnosed by one of 
the largest surgical institutions in the world as having ulcer 
of the stomac, and operation advized. He would not hear 
of an operation, and his family physician referd him to me 
for diagnosis and treatment. I found him to hav an ulcer 
on the anterior border of the stomac. 

I put him on a diet of raw fruit for the morning meal, 
finely chopt or shredded raw vegetabls for the midday meal, 
and lettis only for the evening meal. I cut out all milk, egs, 
sugar, salt, tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, tobacco, and 
alcohol. 

I gave him radiation from two ISOO-watt incandescent 
lamps for one hour six mornings in the week. One lamp 
was directed over the stomac and the other over other parts 
of the body. Forty minits of the radiation was on the an- 
terior part of the body and twenty minits on the posterior 
part of the body. 

Within two months every simpton of ulcer of the stomac 
had disappeard, and in three months he went home entirely 

two hundred ninety-five 



wel, and he has had no more stomac simptoms for twenty- 
one months. 

Case II 

Marrid man sixty years of age suflferd with brachial 
neuritis for several years. Was unabl to dres himself and 
his wife came with him to see to that. I put him on a diet 
of acid fruit for brekfast and nothing else, two uncookt 
vegetabls for the midday meal and nothing else, raw lettis 
and carrots for the evening meal and nothing else. 

Six mornings of the week I used two 1500-watt lamps 
over his body for fifty minits, light being radiated over the 
anterior part of the body for thirty-five minits and over the 
posterior part of the body for fifteen minits. The radiations 
from one lamp wer directed over the upper arm and shol- 
der, while the radiations from the other lamp wer over the 
chest or back. 

Within one month he was abl to dres himself. I treated 
him for two months and he has had no return of the trubl 
for over a year. 

Case III 

Singl lady 45 years of age. Diagnosed by six of the best 
diagnosticians in the United States as having cancer of the 
stomac. She was told that she could not liv more than three 
months without an operation and would probably not liv 
over three years after an operation. 

. She would not consent to an operation as she had had 
several operations alredy performd in the pelvic regions 
for varius conditions. She was referd to me for diagnosis 
and treatment, and two physicians came with her. They 
told me in her presence that if I could make her liv three 
months in comfort that they thot I would hav done all 
that she could expect. 

My diagnosis was cancer of the stomac, and there was no 
dout but that the diagnosis was correct. 

The doctors remaind with her for a week and then went 
home and left her in my care. I forbade the use of all sugar, 
salt, bred, tea, coffee, chocolate, and cocoa. For brekfast 
I allowd juice from ground, macerated, uncookt prunes, for 
midday meal six ounces of carrot juice, and for the evening 

two hundred ninety-six 



meal ground up lettis and spinach, celery, or some garden 
herb. Some days I allowd ground up raw peas along with 
scraped carrots. 

Six mornings of the week I radiated light from two or 
more 1500-watt lamps over her body for one hour, directing 
the radiations from one lamp over her stomac region with 
the lamp as near to the skin as she could possibly endure it. 
Treatments over the back lasted for about ten minits. 

I continued these treatments for nine months. She went 
home to attend to some business for two or three months 
and to report to her family physicians. All simptoms of 
cancer had disappeard, and the size of her stomac was very 
apreciably diminisht. She returnd and I treated her for 
three or four months more, which made about thirteen 
months' treatment in all. She has now been pronounst en- 
tirely cured from cancer. Her stomac is about half the 
normal capacity. For one year she has had no return of 
her old simptoms. 

Case IV 

Singl lady 23 years old. Had influenza two years ago, from 
which she did not fully recover. She had many simptoms 
of debility and afternoon fever, which made her family phy- 
sician suspect there was something rong, so he calld in sev- 
eral consultants. They all decided that she had tuberculosis 
with a very bad spot in the middl lobe of the right lung. A 
few days after their final examination, she had a hemorrage 
that nearly kild her. 

As soon as she was abl to travel, she was sent to me for 
diagnosis and treatment. I diagnosed her case as tuber- 
culosis fairly well advanst and with a very activ lesion in 
the middl lobe of the right lung. 

She had been fed principally on milk and egs for several 
months. I forbade all milk, egs, sugar, salt, tea, coffee, 
chocolate, cocoa, and put her on a diet of raw acid fruit 
for brekfast, raw vegetabls for noon, and raw lettis, celery, 
watercress, etc. for supper. I taut her deep breathing exer- 
cizes and instructed her to practis diligently to elevate her 
chest and to sleep out of doors and be out of doors all she 
possibly could. 

two hundred ninety-seven 



I gave her radiations from three 1500-watt incandescent 
lamps six mornings of the week, each treatment lasting fifty 
minits. One of the lamps was directed over the lungs and 
the other two over other parts of her body. One-third of 
the time the radiations wer over the back and two-thirds of 
the time over the anterior part of the body. 

Within one month her three degrees rize of fever in the 
afternoon had entirely disappeard. She had commenst 
coffing every morning and raisd large quantities of pus, 
which was simply loaded with tubercl bacilli. Within three 
weeks she coft up great quantities of pus. She continually 
grew stronger and at the end of three months' treatment I 
pronounst her wel. She had an increas of chest expansion 
of over three inches and had a ravenus appetite, and gaind 
in weight until her weight was normal for her height. 

According to my Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic test she was 
free from tuberculosis and she appeard wel. She returnd 
home in what I consider a perfect condition with the excep- 
tion of a scar in the lungs. After six months she has reported, 
"I feel that I am and I kno that I am, wel." 

Case V 

Marrid man 60 years of age living in the Middl West 
had been diagnosed as having tuberculosis for over two 
years. Was told that he could not liv in that climate, and 
he sold out his business and was redy to move to Arizona 
to spend the rest of his days. 

I happend to be going thru a large city near his town 
three years ago, and his family physician brot him to see 
me. I diagnosed him as having advanst tuberculosis and 
there could be no dout about the diagnosis. He was so 
weak that he could not walk ten steps unassisted. I advized 
his physician to put in lamps and begin treating him right 
in his home town, becaus I hav found that the change of 
climate and scene for tuberculus patients is a very bad 
procedure. 

I told them to giv him no more egs or milk but to put 
him on fruit juices for one meal, raw vegetabl juices for 
another meal, and as soon as possibl to giv him shredded, 
ground, or finely chopt lettis, celery, spinach, watercress, 
etc. I told them to giv him radiations from one or two 1500- 

two hundred ninety-eight 



watt lamps an hour every forenoon and every afternoon, 
and to have him carry on his method of sleeping out of 
doors, which he had alredy been doing for two years. 

Within three months this man was so wel that he hot 
his business back, and within one year he was to all appear- 
ances entirely wel. I recievd a letter from his family phy- 
sician within the last month, stating that this man was to 
all appearances as wel as he ever was. 

Right here I wish to say that I take egs and milk away 
from every patient with tuberculosis. I also take away all 
sugar and salt, and giv them all the raw spinach, water- 
cress, and raw carrots that they can comfortably eat. I find 
that recovery is marvelusly enhanst by carrying out this simpl 
dietetic mesure. This may appear off the beaten path, but 
it is efficacious, and I hav not time to go into my reasons 
for being opposed to the overfeeding and stuffing of tuber- 
culus patients. / heliev the diet and stuffing that is popular 
for tuberculus patients kils more than the diseas. 

I hav personally treated enuf patients with tuberculosis 
to feel that I am right in my opinion, and the reports of 
my pupils coincide with my own clinical experience. 

Case VI 

Marrid man 42 years old. Referd to one of my pupils in 
the Middl West about a year ago. Had been in one of the 
tuberculosis hospitals for several weeks but was sent home 
with the statement that nothing more could be done for 
him in that climate and that he must be sent to Arizona if 
he expected to liv. Not being financially abl to go West, he 
was referd to the physician mentiond. 

For one month he was carrid to the physician's offis in 
a taxi as he was not abl to walk four blocks. After regulat- 
ing the diet as above mentiond and using powerful radiant 
light folloing out my tecnic, this man was abl to walk to the 
offis for his treatments, and was free from fever. After two 
months more, he was abl to go back to business. For eight 
months now he has been entirely wel. 

Case VII 

Marrid woman 67 years old. Mother of five children* 
Residence in the Middl West. Had a severe attack of flu 

two hundred ninety-nine 



in 1918 while visiting in Chicago. This condition ended 
with what was calld at the time "catarral bronchitis." Her 
condition became so much worse that consultants wer calld, 
and they pronounst it tuberculosis. They immediately began 
a vaccin treatment for her, but she continued to get worse. 

She was sent to one of my pupils near Chicago for treat- 
ment. He advized a method of diet as above outlined and 
used two or three 1500-watt lamps in the manner alredy 
indicated. The first of April of this year she was examind 
by several specalists and pronounst free from tuberculosis. 

I could go on for hours relating cases of tuberculosis 
especially, and nearly all of them would read about the 
same as the above. Of course I am very enthusiastic over 
the work, and I am glad many other physicians ar also 
becumming enthusiastic. It was only within the last two 
weeks that two of my pupils from London, England, came 
out to see me and take up some special work along these 
lines. They brot reports from several of my pupils in Eng- 
land that the radiant-light method of treatment along with 
dietetic mesures as above outlined wer doing more for 
curing tuberculosis than any other method they had ever 
used or red of. 

I am aware that physicians who hav not investigated 
these methods and who hav been educated along older lines 
of treatment, ar slo to change, but, Fellow Physicians, yu 
all know that tuberculosis especially is progressing with 
leaps and bounds and is more prevalent than anyone dares 
admit. Yu all kno that the deth rate in most of the insti- 
tutions devoted entirely to tuberculosis is very great. In 
the face of these facts, why not investigate these methods 
of treatment that giv results that ar so far beyond the 
results from the other methods that there is hardly any 
comparison ?

CHROMO-THERAPY* 

Chro mo -Th.era.py means treatment of diseas by radiant 
colors and should not be confused with Fofo-Therapy which 
signifies treatment of diseas by means of radiant light. 

The difference between Chromo-Therapy and Foto-Therapy 
is similar to that between Homeopathy and Allopathy. Homeo- 
pathy treats with finely divided remedies and Allopathy treats 
with the crude drug. 

Chromo-Therapy and Homeopathy Compared 

Chromo-Therapy cures by contrasts just as Homeopathy 
cures by contrasts. Hahnemann says, "Burns ar cured by 
aproaching the fire, frozen lims by the aplication of sno, 
etc." Why? Becaus the reactiv law of heat is cold and the 
reactiv law of cold is heat. 

A universal law in Nature is that likes repel while unlikes 
attract. The positiv pole repels the positiv pole, but attracts 
the negativ pole. In harmony lies the secret of Homeopathy 
and Chromopathy or Chromo-Therapy. 

By finely dividing an element, for exampl sulfur, it produces 
the very opposit effect that the crude mineral does. Crude 
sulfur wil caus a diarrea while the 200th attenuation of sulfur 
wil cure diarrea. Why? Not becaus it is Homeopathy, but 
becaus it is a natural law, and Homeopathy follows a natural 
law. 

Sulfur, like every other element, has an affinity for its 
opposit. In the crude form it is like an elefant while in its 
attenuated form it can be compared to a flea. Yu could dodge 
an elefant, but if the same weight of fleas wer liberated, yu 
could not dodge them. 

Any element subdivided has greater attraction for its opposit 
than the same element undivided. 

Thus, light subdivided into colors has greater attraction for 
its opposit than white light. 

Colors possess polarity the same as metals. For exampl, 
red is irritating and excitativ, similar to negativ electricity; 
while blue is soothing and resting, similar to positiv electricity. 

*Red by the author before the California State Homeopathic Medical 
Society, 1918. 

The tecnic and devices alluded to in this paper ai fully described 
and illustrated in the Seventeenth Edition of "The Natural Way or 
My Work."

Colors, however, belong to the finer forces of Nature and 
the term, "polarity," is not broad enuf. For exampl, metals 
hav two opposit poles while colors hav subdivisions of energy 
as numberless as the stars in the Milky Way. 

Therapeutic Action of Radiant Colors 

Chromo-Therapy or Radiant Color Treatment has been 
used for ages in treating diseas. Whether it wer used em- 
pirically or not, the fact remains that different colors wer 
painted on the skin upon which the sun radiated, or some 
other method was used for giving color emanations to the body. 

We kno that the blood selects oxigen from the air which we 
inhale and in which we ar engulft, becaus it has an inherent 
affinity for it. Is it not rational to believ that the tissues 
change light emanations to meet their special requirements? 

Has not the skin the property of selecting from the spectrum 
such colors as the body needs and for which it has an 
affinity? Does not the natural call for colors depend upon 
the normal or abnormal processes of the body? 

I believ and can prove that when there is any lesion or 
abnormal, process going on in the body, there is an affinity 
at that location for a neutralizing energy — a rate and mode 
of motion, which it seems perfectly natural should be selected 
from light. 

Nature calls for colors the same as it does for light. As 
long as we ar coverd by clothing only a small part of our 
bodies can obtain it. Hence there is a limitless field for light 
and color therapy. 

We, in our unciviHzed manner of living, hav robd our 
bodies of the light and color intended for them. Had we 
needed clothes, we would hav been born with them. We hav 
smotherd the skin with clothes ; and littl by littl barbarus man 
is trying to smother our respiration by means of tobacco 
smoke, cigaret smoke, and other filthy, demoralizing fumes. 

Recognizing the barbarus surroundings in which we move 
and hav our being. Nature, ever redy to help, tries to righten 
our metamorfosed conditions ; but she often has to call for aid. 

As we ar surrounded by a sea of oxigen we can, if 
fortunately situated, flee from polluted air and find such air 
as wil giv our hungry organism the oxigen it needs; or we 
can by artificial means make oxigen that meets our require- 
ments.

Colors and How to Use Them 

In the first place, color does not pass thru clothes, so in 
giving color treatment the body must be natural — that is, 
nude. The skin, when given an opportunity, revels in light 
and color as a bee revels in blossoming clover. 

The skin of the entire body craves light and color; and 
the more "civilized" we becum the more we long for the colors 
that paint the splendors of the universe. 

In general terms, red, orange and yello ar "primitiv" colors, 
that is, animating, stimulating and warming. Red is especially 
indicated for the blood, yello for the nervs, and orange — 
partaking of both red and yello — is stimulating and animating 
to both blood and nervs. 

Green has a dubl action, being nerv animating and blood 
cooling, that is, sedativ in febril conditions. 

Violet, indigo and blue ar cald electrical colors, that is, 
cooling, soothing and antiseptic; blue having a special action 
upon the blood while violet has a special action upon the nervs. 
Indigo partakes of the nature of both blue and violet and is 
soothing to both blood and nervs. 

Remedies that ar anti- febril ar soothing, cooling and anti- 
inflammatory and hav blue predominating; while nervines 
and hart depressions hav much violet. 

Red Color 

Red color is the warm element of sunlight with especially 
stimulating effect upon the blood and to some extent upon the 
nervs. It is indicated in tuberculosis, anemia, fisical exhaustion, 
paralysis, and all debilitated conditions. 

Red is injurius when there is akedy too much of an inflam- 
matory condition in the sistem, or where a person is in a 
feverish or excitabl condition generally. 

Yello and Orange 

Yello and orange ar nerv stimulants and ar valuabl in 
constipation, impaird digestion, and many abnormal pelvic 
conditions peculiar to women. A reddish orange is valuabl in 
cancer and all mahgnant growths. 

Yello is injurius to an over-excited sistem. 

three hundred three 



Green 

Green is a quieting color if not too green. The color should 
hav no suggestion of yello. True green has a quieting and 
soothing effect upon the nervs and also upon the body. 

Blue and Violet 

Blue and violet ar nervines, astringents, refrigerants, 
febrifuges and sedativ ; soothing to nerv and vascular sistems, 
especially where inflammatory and nervus conditions pre- 
domintae. 

They ar indicated in sciatica, hemorrage, cerebro-spinal 
conditions, neuralgia, reumatism, general nervusness, etc. 

Generalities 

In general, if a person is working in dark rooms the contrast 
of being in yello or yello-orange light is very beneficial. This 
is especially true during the rainy season when there is a 
great deal of cloudiness. A person's sistem is naturally more 
or les deprest and therefore treatment by means of yello- 
orange is very helpful. This also aplies to the lighting of the 
home. 

On the other hand, if one is out a great deal in the bright 
sunlight the contrast of going into a subdued light,, such as 
violet or blue, is restful. 

Generally speaking, a person with red hair, or rubicund 
complexion, does not care for high colors such as red, orange 
or yello ; but likes green, blue or violet. 

There ar also countless shades of these varius colors. 
Therefore one must be particular to pick out the colord silk 
best adapted for the purpose when making shades or screens. 
The grade of silk made under the trademark name of Faile- 
Matinee I hav found to be about right for Chromo-Thera- 
peutic Screens or shades. This special weav of silk is made 
in many colors and can be procured from almost any of the 
large dry goods stores. 

Silk vs. Glas for Screens or Shades 

Altho I formerly used colord glas as the media thru which 
light was radiated, I hav found many objections to it. It 
breaks easily, the proper colors often cannot be obtaind, and 
it is expensiv and cumbersome. 

three hundred four 



Silks and linens (and some parchments) of the proper color 
ar the best materials thru which to shed light. They giv a 
softness to the light that glas never can, especially when using 
artificial lights back of the screen. 

Practicability of Silk Screens 

There is no patent on silk screens. Anyone can make them. 
All that is required is a wire frame that wil surround an 
electric light globe. This wire frame can be coverd with 
suitabl silk for giving the radiation desired. 

If the phvsician is not fitted for giving Chromo-Therapeutic 
treatments in his offis, he should at least be informd as to the 
colors indicated in any given condition. He is then in a 
position to instruct his patients intelligently for carrying on 
the Chromo-Therapeutic treatments in their ow^n homes. 

Deep Breathing Enhances Chromo-Therapeutic Mesures 

As the body requires the indicated color, so does it require 
an abundant suply of oxigen. It is for that reason that it 
is wel to instruct the patient in deep abdominal breathing so 
thev can practis that at the same time they ar taking the color 
radiations. In this way we ar helping the patient in a natural 
manner — helping them to take out-of-doors treatment in a 
condenst form. In other words, we ar helping them to acquire 
the "condenst out-of-doors" habit. 

Therapeutic Action of Colors 

Sunlight shed thru colord glas was very much in vogue a 
few years ago for the treatment of diseases. Probably the 
reason for its going ''out of fashion" was becaus it was not 
taken up in a sientific way by the medical profession. 

Another reason probably is that color therapy belongs to 
the finer forces, and commercialism seems to hav stunted the 
finer natures of many peopl, and grosser methods, such as 
crude drugs, vaccin and serum therapy, hav taken the place of 
the finer forces. 

I hav often askt physicians why they did not do more with 
Chromo-Therapy, and the ansers generally hav been that it 
was not practical and did not bring in enuf mony to make 
it pay. It seems as tho these physicians wer ignorant of the 
true therapeutic value of colord light. 

three hundred five 



Of course, charlatans hav taken up Chromo-Therapy the 
same as they hav taken up drugs, surgery, vaccins and serums. 
In fact the charlatan wil take up anything that is popular. 
Quacks hav used hydro-therapy, but that is no reason v^hy 
any legitimate physician should not prescribe baths. 

It seems as tho the rank and file of the medical profession 
condems any agency that is natural, simpl, above-board, and 
easily understood. It seems as tho the "old-scool" medical 
fraternity seeks misterius aids for treating their patients, that 
is, vaccins, serums and ''prescriptions ritten in an unknown 
tung." 

That the public has been arousd to the point of breaking 
loose from such methods is evidenst by the great number of 
physicians that ar carrying out drugless methods. According 
to actual statistics, more peopl ar being treated by natural 
methods than by any other. 

Chromo-Therapy is so easity handld that any physician can 
redily fit up rooms for this treatment. He can at least giv 
advice to his patients for carrying it out in their own homes. 

Some physicians hav said that if they educate their patients 
too much alons: the lines of helth, they wil care for themselvs 
and teach their frends, and thereby not need professional 
care. Any physician who reasons along these lines is deserving 
of defeat and "war bred" the rest of his life. If a physician 
cannot be a true physician, he should not be a physician at all. 

A physician must he altruistic. That goes with the profession 
and is included with the name physician. It is true we all 
hav our ''rent and taxes" to pay, but the physician who is 
a true physician and educates the peopl to liv better, is the 
one who often recievs the largest incum and has the largest 
circl of honest frends. 

A lawyer who advizes his clients in such a way that they 
wil hav to go to law is soon out of business. 

The public should be educated to pay the physician wel for 
good, sound, wholesome advice rather than for a box of pils. 
They should be taut that being made sick to get them wel is 
not economy. 

In Color Therapy we hav a means for satisfying Nature's 
needs in a way that is more sutl and far-reaching than by 
crude drugs or other coarse agencies. 

three hundred six 



Diseas means lack of harmony in the sistem, and "harmony 
cannot be brot about until Nature's affinities ar satisfied." 

One wel-known riter has said that without claiming 
everything for any specific mode or sentiment, it is truly 
reasonabl to contend that such beautiful natural methods as 
light and color ar certainly far more commendabl than needless 
operations and the use of disgusting vaccins and serums, 
which stil hold the fort in many sientific strongholds. 

Light-and-Color treatment deserv world-wide attention, and 
unless we wish to prove fanatics, it wel becums us to employ 
to the fullest extent possibl, all those benignant and agreeabl 
healing as^encies which ar freely at the disposal of all humanity, 
if we wil but devote some serius thot and attention to the 
practical utilization of Nature's own deliteful remedies. 

Altho mental suggestion acts powerfully in unison with all 
modes of treatment, there ar no valid grounds for denying or 
even questioning the demonstratabl ingredients of chemical 
light and color. 

Light and color ar in themselvs highly efficacious healing 
agents and worthy of the most serius consideration, and as 
we ar living in the most beautiful world which, if shorn of 
light and color, would instantly becum a dreary wilderness, 
and as Nature persistently employs colors in a regularly 
sistematic manner, we ar surely acting in concert with the 
Universal Mother if we study her actions and apparelings 
and array ourselvs and our belongings in harmony with the 
great exampl set by that unfailing Nature which never 
deviates from a divinely appointed pathway.

COLORS IN THE , DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT 
OF DISEAS* 

Every fenomenon in Nature is a matter of motion — vibra- 
tion. Light, color, sound, electricity and radio-activ energy ar 
differentiated from each other by their rates and modes of 
motion. 

The effect of Light is seen in all forms of vegetabl and 
animal life. The reflex action by means of the skin and eye 
effects the change in matter. Pigmentation is simply a reaction 
and accomodation of protoplasm to the action of light or other 
energy — motion. 

Colors also produce a far-reaching effect upon the develop- 
ment of all forms of life. Sientists hav demonstrated the 
profound effect of color. It has been shown that bacilli, v^hen 
exposed to the ultra-violet rays, ar changed into a different 
species; and the revized or new bacilli, when injected into 
animals, developt an entirely different diseas. It has also 
been found that intense says from the ultra-violet region 
of the spectrum, when radiated from a quartz, mercury- vapor 
lamp, wil coagulate eg albumen and solutions of serum 
proteins. 

It has been found that the larvae of the common white 
cabbage butterfly, which is a colorless insect, wil, if placed 
in boxes of varius colors, produce butterflies within three or 
five generations of the exact shade of the box in which they 
wer grown. These same metamorfosed butterflies, which 
might be brown, red, blue, or any other color, can by the 
reverse process of rearing them (that is, in a normal light 
without color) be slowly brot back to their natural white 
color within three to five generations. 

It is wel known that cameleons, salamanders, newts, 
lizards, and some species of frogs and toads, ar changed in 
color by reflex irritation thru the eye. If blinded in one eye 
they do not change in color on that side of the body. 

The effect of Sound upon the simpathetic sistem has been 
wel shown by its influence on insects, birds, fish, animals and 
peopl. 

*This is one of my popular lectures. All the tecnic and apliances 
referd to in this paper ar illustrated and described in the Seventeenth 
Edition of "The Natural Way or My Work."

The effects of other rates and modes of motion or energy, 
hav not been so wel known, but they hav recently been shown 
in the change of vegetabl and animal development when under 
certain forms of high frequencies. 

We kno that the ear responds to sound energy and the eye 
to light and color energy. It can be shown that other organs 
in the body respond to energy produced by Ught, color, sound, 
and other rates and modes of motion ; and from this we may 
infer that every organ in the body responds to every rate and 
mode of motion. 

In the body we hav a nervus organism which might be 
likend to a telefone sistem, of which the brain is the central 
offis and the ganglia the substations. This nervus sistem is 
the most accurate index of external energy. The internal 
organs ar controld by the simpathetic and vagus nervs. Any 
stimulation of the vagus produces what is termd "vagal tone," 
and with a change in vagal tone there is a change in the tension 
of the viscera. 

It can be proved that the magnetic meridian; energy from 
a magnet; human energy; and light, color, and sound energy, 
wil all produce a change in the tonicity or tension of the 
viscera. In other words, they wil elicit what I call the 
Simpathetic-Vagal-Reflex — if a definit tecnic is followd. 

As the simpathetic-vagal tone of the body is changed, so is 
the tension of the vascular sistem changed in proportion to 
the susceptibility of the subject and the energy employd. 
This can be shown by varius tests, and can be proved by 
anyone. 

Air-Colum Vibration 

I hav experimented with vibrating colums of air, and often 
vibrated a colum of air over a person's face or body. At times 
I observd a variation of pitch when vibrating a colum of air 
over a person, altho my devices wer the same distance from 
the body each time. 

These experiments I carrid on for years and found that the 
variations of pitch took place when the person changed pos- 
ition. For exampl, when a person faced east, I observd one 
note ; and when he faced north, I observd another note. Thus 
I found that the magnetic meridian affected the living body. 

three hundred nine 



While giving demonstrations of the aura, I observd that 
the "streamers" or radiations from the body wer deflected 
when some subjects faced north or south in a different manner 
than when they faced east or west. 

Among the first I found who would sho no change when 
facing in the magnetic meridian, was a lady who had tuber- 
culosis fairly wel advanst. Later I found that cancer, sifilis, 
and all other diseases had the same power of inhibiting the 
effects of the magnetic meridian upon the body. 

While conducting a series of experiments wdth vibrating air 
colums thru wooden pipes, I had a helthy looking patient over 
whose body I could notis no change of pitch, no matter in 
what direction he faced. I observd an aura of a reddish hue 
emanating from the back of his hed. This is the aura for 
sifiUs, the color being especially wel defined over localized 
lesions. From these findings, I diagnosed the case as sifilitic 
tumor located in the cerebellum. This yung man's relativs 
would not believ the diagnosis and I advized them to take him 
to an expert laboratory diagnostician. The expert's diagnosis 
coincided with mine. The yung man died of sifilitic tumor 
in the cerebellum. 

Later a yung lady came to me to be treated for cancer in 
the brest. I tested this lady with my organ pipes, or colum- 
sounding tubes, and obtaind a decided change of pitch as she 
tumd from one point of the compass to another. I also ob- 
servd that the color of the aura from her brests w^as normal, 
that is ''steel-blue" insted of a "blue-violet" which is the color 
of cancer. I therefore diagnosed her case as a simpl adeno- 
matus enlargement of the brest. I treated her with powerful 
light energy for a few^ w^eeks, by which time the enlargement 
had entirely disappeard, and the patient has remaind wel ever 
since. 

Colors to Diagnose Diseas 

I reasond that if the aura from a helthy body wer de- 
flected by the magnetic meridian and the tension of the 
body organs wer changed by the same agency, then some 
other energy must be abl to act on the "animal energy" or 
"life force." 

After trying sound waves of all kinds, I began to work 
with colors. The first color I used was the ruby employd 

three hundred ten 



in the fotografic dark room. This I found obliterated the 
effect of the magnetic meridian on a helthy subject ; and it 
would also enabl the magnetic meridian to act upon a per- 
son with tuberculosis the same as if he wer helthy. 

Many persons gave this *'ruby reflex" when they com- 
plaind only of being tired, nervus, etc., and later it was 
found they had tuberculosis. I also found that a person 
with cancer gave this "ruby reflex." 

Altho I hav tested many thousand cases with the ruby 
light, I hav found no diseases except tuberculosis and can- 
cer that would respond to that color. Later I discoverd a 
color that would differentiate cancer from tuberculosis. I 
employd every color that I could find or make, but found 
that only dark-room ruby would diagnose tuberculosis or 
cancer, and that only a certain shade of orange would dif- 
ferentiate cancer from tuberculosis. 

I found that tuberculosis could be diagnosed by this 
method at the very inception of the diseas, and before a 
diagnosis could be made by any other known method. Time 
would prove that the diagnosis was correct, and the patient 
could hav been more rapidly cured had others believd my 
findings wer reliabl. The same holds true with cancer. I 
hav been abl to prove that at least 60% of cases diagnosed 
as cancer by laboratory methods wer not cancer, and time 
has proved my diagnosis to be correct. I hav also found 
that many cases which wer diagnosed as simpl growths 
wer cancerus growths, and time has proved the diagnoses 
to be true. 

By degrees I found that other radiant colors would enabl 
me to diagnose other diseases until now I hav a wel defined 
plan of diagnosing the most prevalent and the most dan- 
gerus toxemias. 

This method I hav termd the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic 
method. (Bios, meaning life; Dynamis, meaning force; 
Chroma, meaning color.) 

I hav never yet found a person suffering with any malig- 
nant diseas, that would giv the simpathetic-vagal reflex 
(VR) when facing from east or west to north or south, 
unless some radiant; color wer employd. 

This reflex I term the simpathetic-vagal reflex or the mag- 
netic-meridian-simpathetic-vagal reflex {MM VR). 

three hundred eleven 



I am now abl to sho the exact stage of the diseas by using 
varius tints of the diagnosing color. 

Fisical colors ar pictorial evidences of varying rates and 
modes of vibration. It is an undisputed fact that colors play 
a very important role in life. Chromatics should be taut in the 
scools and colleges just as much as mathematics. One can be 
made sad or happy by means of colors. The temperament of 
the inmates of a house is more or les changed by the color 
decorations. All public places should be decorated by those 
who hav a definit knoledge of color effects. 

Explanation of the Simpathetic-Vagal Reflex (VR) 

I am often askt by sientists and physicians for an explana- 
tion as to why the magnetic meridian affects the body more 
when it is facing north or south than when it is facing east 
or west. In can be briefly explaind as follows: 

The simpathetic ganglia ar placed in the posterior part of 
the torso anterior to the spinal colum. The ramifications from 
the simpathetic ganglia ar lateral. Therefore they present a 
great deal more surface antero-posteriorly than they do 
laterally. 

When the body is facing east or west, the magnetic meridian 
energy cuts relativly only a very few lines of force from the 
great nerv ganglia and their branches ; but when the body is 
facing in the magnetic meridian, that is, north or south, the 
energy from the magnetic meridian cuts infinitly more lines 
of force, and in so doing steps up the energy, thus producing 
a change of tension in the blood vessels, which change of 
tension is the simpathetic-vagal reflex induced by the magnetic 
meridian— MM VR. 

This explanation seems consistent when we consider the 
fact that all forms of energy ar related and it is easy to step 
one energy up or down into another form of energy. 

Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Therapy 

FoUoing the law of similars, I hav developt a sistem of 
therapy in accordance with the color findings in the diagnosis. 
For exampl, if ruby is required to elicit the simpathetic- vagal- 
reflex in an individual, that color I use for the treatment, 
folloing out a certain tecnic based on fisical laws. 

I believ this faze of the law of similars is as true as gravi- 
tation or any other natural law, but one must kno and under- 

three hundred twelv 



stand the laws governing it the same as they would other 
fisical fenomena. Like other natural laws, this Magnetic- 
Meridian Law is so simpl that anyone can demonstrate it to 
his satisfaction without the use of elaborate and expensiv in- 
struments; and there is a sientific explanation of it all. 

The far-reaching effect that this law has on humanity can- 
not be exprest in words. The fact that it enabls the physician 
to diagnose tuberculosis, cancer, sifilis, gonorrea, malaria, etc., 
at their very inception, givs him an opportunity to act at the 
most propitious time and in the most propitious manner. 

Conclusions 

1. Nature seems to be only another name for a "storehouse 
of fisical fenomena." 

2. Fisical fenomena appear to be rates and modes of 
vibration. 

3. The origin of life appears to be only the polarization of 
energy. 

4. Cellular development appears to be a fenomenon of 
polarity. 

5. As all natural fenomena appear to be but modifications 
of motion, it follows that the different development of tissues 
or species is only a modification of rates and modes of motion. 

6. Energy appears to be the manifestation of some rate 
and mode of motion. 

7. All amotions appear to be rates and modes of motion 
temporarily changing the individual's normal rate and mode 
of motion. 

8. In the animal kingdom at least a change in the normal 
rate and mode of motion is accomplisht thru the simpathetic 
and vagal sistems. 

9. The simpathetic and vagal sistems ar intimately related 
with the vascular sistem and thru it with every eel in the body. 

10. Diseas, or unrest of tissue, seems to be a manifestation 
of an abnormal rate and mode of motion. 

IL Each rate and mode of motion acts upon or changes 
any other rate and mode of motion. Consequently each indi- 
vidual influences every other individual to a greater or les 
extent. 

12. The magnetic meridian is a definit rate and mode of 
motion and must consequently influence all other rates and 
modes of motion, be they animate or inanimate. 

three hundred thirteen 



13. All energy to be stimulating must be intermittent. 

14. Energy of any kind, if unvarid and constant, acts as 
an irritant upon the simpathetic sistem. 

15. If any abnormal energy emanating from the body is 
changed to normal, even temporarily, the individual is 
benefited. 

16. An individual can do more and better work by occasion- 
ally changing his position with regard to the magnetic 
meridian. 

17. The cosmic effect of all the rates and modes of motion 
in the body ar manifested at the surface of the body in what 
might be calld a "human atmosfere" or aura. This surface 
emanation is transmissibl from one person to another thru the 
air and, under certain conditions, can be transmitted thru 
conductors from one person to another. 

18. All true remedial agencies must hav for their ultimate 
aim the normalizing of an abnormal rate and mode of motion. 

19. All repair must be made thru the vascular sistem. 

20. The vascular sistem is influenst thru the simpathetic 
and vagal sistems. 

21. Any agency that acts best on the simpathetic and vagal 
sistems most promptly stabilizes metabolism, augments nutri- 
tion, and produces a normal rate and mode of motion. 

22. When progress in any form of life ceases, there is a 
slowing up of life's forces (senility), and consequently the 
beginning of "deth." 

23. Deth appears to be the cessation of one form of motion 
and the beginning of another. In other words, it seems to 
be a metamorfosis of motion — vital force is liberated and 
changed into another and higher form of motion. 

Judging then by all analogies, deth must be but a transition 
to superior life, and man himself a link in this wonderful 
chain of upward progression. Is it not an inspiring thot that 
all energy (Hght, color, sound, etc. — harmonies of the out- 
ward universe) forever exemplify and teach this great 
principl of cosmic influence?

TUBERCULOSIS— ITS DIAGNOSIS AND 
TREATMENT* 

By George Starr White, M.D. 

Altho tuberculosis has been the bane of so-calld civilization 
for centuries, yet the orthodox method of treating it today is 
almost identical with that ritten about by Greek physicians 
nearly two thousand years ago. 

Several hundred different methods of diagnosing and treat- 
ing tuberculosis hav been evolvd in the last century, and 
every one has faild to giv beneficial results. 

There is no need of going into statistics regarding tuber- 
culosis thruout the world, as the fact stands out in bold relief 
that the so-calld regular or standard methods for treating 
tuberculosis hav utterly faild. 

Neither shal I discuss the popular beliefs as to the caus of 
tuberculosis. I wil confine this brief paper to the diagnosis 
of tuberculosis and to a method that cures nearly 100% of 
those afflicted. 

The only method that I kno anything about as being rehabl 
for the diagnosis of tuberculosis is the method known as the 
Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method. This method most of yu ar 
familiar with. Inasmuch as the finer forces in Nature ar 
utilized in this method of diagnosis, the most incipient stages 
of tuberculosis can be diagnosed twenty-four hours after the 
tuberculus infection. 

Not only can the diseas itself be diagnosed, but the stage 
of the diseas can be diagnosed, or in other words, the ratio 
of the patient's strength to the power of the tuberculus 
infection can be mesured. 

During the past few years enuf cases of tuberculosis hav 
been diagnosed by my B-D-C method, and enuf physicians 
hav used it to prove it to be reliabl and practically 100% 
perfect. 

It is wel known that the prevailing method of treating 
tuberculosis is by forst feeding, especially with milk and egs. 
Becaus of the great mortality in the varius tuberculus insti- 
tutions, all manner of remedies hav been added to stay the 
plague, but in scarcely any of these institutions has the method

September, 1920. 

three hundred fifteen 



of diet been changed from that which has been used for 
centuries. 

It is wel known that the digestiv sistem is nearly always 
the first to giv the signal of a tuberculus infection. Waiting 
to see whether tubercl baciUi can be found in the sputum is 
like waiting to see what the autopsy wil sho. Thousands of 
peopl die of tuberculosis, and the.deth certificate is made out 
for almost every complaint other than tuberculosis, becaus 
the diagnostician was waiting for the tubercl baccilli to sho 
in the sputum. 

As diet plays such an important role in the treatment of 
tuberculosis, I wish to bring a few facts to your attention. 
The only difference between a watch spring before and after 
it is temperd is the spring which tempering puts into the 
piece of steel. When the spring is temperd correctly, it wil 
make the watch go. No chemist can tel by chemical analisis 
which steel has spring in it and which has not. The same can 
be said of steel that is magnetized and steel that is not. No 
chemist can tel by chemical anaUsis whether the steel be mag- 
netized or not. In either instance, if one heat the piece of 
steel the quality is dissipated — the spring is gon or the 
magnetism is gon. 

It is wel known that foods as they gro contain salts in 
natural biologic combination. These naturally combined salts 
ar known as the vitamins. These naturally combined salts ar 
necessary for the maintaining of life. If, however, the food 
is cookt, the vitamins ar destroyd, and the naturally combined 
salts becum unnaturally combined, and the very elements that 
the animal economy need ar destroyd by cooking. 

Another fact that I wish to bring out is that raw egs ar 
very difficult to digest. Some even go so far as to say they ar 
not digested by humans. At any rate, they ar a long time 
leaving the stomac. 

It is also difficult for a tuberculus person to digest milk. 
The prevailing idea is that becaus the eg is composed of the 
constituent parts of the chicken and becaus milk is the natural 
food for the yung, the combination of milk and egs wil giv the 
body resistance enuf to drive off tuberculus infection. This 
I believ is an erroneus idea. 

Some very interesting experiments in feeding cookt food 
to animals hav been carrid on. Hogs fed on cookt food died 

three hundred sixteen 



of colera inside of six months. Helthy cows fed on cookt 
food dried up and wer not suitabl even for the slauter house. 
Sheep fed on cookt food soon died. Horses fed on cookt food 
for a littl over a year wer sold for one-fifth of their original 
value. Yet the human animal is educated to believ that food 
must be cookt to make it more digestibl and nourishing. 

The folloing clinical cases wil giv an idea of the reliability 
of my Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diagnosis and the 
method of treatment that it seems to me to be the best. 

Case I. 

Lady thirty- two years of age was diagnosed by several 
physicians as having malaria. She gave an ^^-MM VR (a 
reflex demonstrated by means of colord lights), and therefore 
I diagnosed her as having incipient tuberculosis. 

I immediately put this lady on a diet of lemon juice and 
orange juice in the morning; raw alfalfa tops and leavs, 
raw spinach, raw lettis, and raw carrots for dinner ; raw water- 
cres and raw' celery for supper. I prohibited the use of tea, 
coffee, chocolate, cocoa, salt or sugar. I allowd a moderate 
use of hony. 

I aplied over her nude body radiations from three 1500- watt 
lamps, twenty minits on the back of the body and twenty 
minits on the front, treatments being given six mornings of 
the week. For the first two weeks I gave radiations from a 
quartz mercury-vapor lamp, beginning one minit the first day 
and increasing it one minit every day until the patient was 
taking it for ten minits. After the first two weeks I discon- 
tinued the use of the quartz lamp but used three of the 
1500- watt lamps. 

After the light radiation I gave her oxigen-vapor inhalation 
along with intermittent radiations thru the /i*- Chromatic 
Screen for twenty minits. 

Within seven weeks the lady had regaind her former weight 
and I discharged her as wel. She has remaind wel for over 
a year. 

Case II. 

Lady twenty-three years of age. Diagnosed by several 
eastern physicians as having anemia and dispepsia. She 
came to me for diagnosis and treatment, but the day she

of diet been changed from that which has been used for

Case I. 

Lady thirty- two years of age was diagnosed by several 
physicians as having malaria. She gave an A^-MM VR (a 
reflex demonstrated by means of colord lights), and therefore 
I diagnosed her as having incipient tuberculosis. 

I immediately put this lady on a diet of lemon juice and 
orange juice in the morning; raw alfalfa tops and leavs, 
raw spinach, raw lettis, and raw carrots for dinner ; raw water-

Case II. 

Lady twenty-three years of age. Diagnosed by several 
eastern physicians as having anemia and dispepsia. She 
came to me for diagnosis and treatment, but the day she 

three hundred seventeen 



reacht Los Angeles she was taken with a hemorrage and 
was rusht to an emergency hospital where examination proved 
that she had tuberculosis. 

I was not told anything about the findings of the laboratory; 
but by means of the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic sistem I diag- 
nosed her as having tuberculosis wel advanced, but her resist- 
ance was good. I treated her in the same manner as outlined 
in Case I, and she made a very rapid recovery, and has 
remaind wel for over nine months. 

Case III. 

Yung man wanted to enlist in the servis. My B-D-C 
examination showd he had incipient TB. I told him he had 
better not enlist, but he did so and was accepted. After a 
few weeks he was returned home with activ TB. 

I put him on the diet as outlined in Case I, but made it 
imperativ that he eat at least two good handfuls of alfalfa 
blossoms and tender leavs each day along with at least two 
handfuls of watercres, and that he should be out in the open 
as much as possibl. 

I treated him six mornings of the week with the 
powerful lights and oxigen vapor and B-D-C therapy. Within 
six months he gave a Normal-MM VR (indicating that his 
tuberculus infection had been entirely cured), and he has 
remaind wel for over a year. 

Case IV. " 

Yung man was examind by a pupil of mine by the B-D-C 
method. He gave an ^-MM VR and was sent to me for a 
re-examination to see if the findings wer correct. 

I found an ^-MM VR and told the patient so. He then 
told me of my pupil's findings. 

He was drafted into the Army and past as O. K. A few 
weeks later he was returnd home with activ TB. I foUowd 
out the same plan of treatment as outHned in Cases I and III 
and within seven months he was entirely wel and has remaind 
wel for over a year. 

Case V. 

A doctor came to me for diagnosis. He had an eruption on 
the abdomen which had been calld tuberculosis by the very 
best skin specialists in this city. 

three hundred eighteen 



My B-D-C findings wer not tuberculosis but herpes zoster, 
and time proved that my diagnosis was correct. 

The quartz Hght in combination with the powerful 
incandescent lamps, along with diet, soon cured him, and his 
skin was left in perfect condition. 

I do not think it is necessary to cite any more cases, as so 
many of yu ar familiar with my work. I hav hundreds of 
reports along the same line from my pupils as wel as from 
my own experience. I hav pupils now in every quarter of the 
globe doing this work, and I am recieving reports that would 
make any physician glad. 

In conclusion I wish to say that the method of feeding a 
person with tuberculosis is of more importance than any 
other procedure. 

I also want to emfasize the fact that alfalfa contains more 
properties for stabilizing the metabohsm of a tuberculus 
patient than any other food that I kno anything about. 

Next to that cums raw spinach, and then watercres. If 
a person cannot get alfalfa, they can use red clover. If they 
cannot use it green, it can be dried, then soakt in cold water 
and the water drunk and the leavs masticated and then spit 
out. When eating the green plants, the patients can swallo 
all the parts they chew. 

I hav used eg shels, green bone, and all the other substances 
supposed to be loaded with calcium, but they hav no such 
effect as the calcium salts that ar held in natural combination 
in green plants. 

I forbid the use of tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, salt, 
condiments of all kinds, sugar, meat, fish, egs and milk. For 
sweetening I allow the patient to use hony, which is the most 
natural sweet we hav. Next to that ar ripe dates. Probably 
the sugar in dates is the most easily assimilated of any fruit 
sugar. 

I do not allow a tuberculus patient to eat anything that 
is cookt, but feed them entirely on raw fruit, alfalfa, garden 
herbs, watercres, and vegetabls of all kinds. If they wish, 
I allow them to drink the juice of raw rhubarb sweetend 
with hony, and the juice of other fresh fruits. I do not allow 
them to mix any acid fruits with roots such as raw carrots, 
raw potatoes, etc. As much as possibl, I hav them eat one 
clas of food for each meal.

Within two weeks the patient becums accustomd to this 
diet and after that cookt food is obnoxious to them. 

Altho this method of feeding may seem quite radical and 
off the beaten path, yet I hav now used it long enuf to prove 
that my hypothesis was correct, and the reports that I am 
recieving from pupils who hav been taut at my place bear 
out my assertion that this method of treatment is not a one- 
man sistem, but that it can be utilized by anyone who wil 
carry it out faithfully and intelligently. 

Tuberculus patients wil gain flesh faster on such food than 
on any other. The reason seems to be that the sistem takes 
up what it needs, becaus it is made fit and kept fit. 

Once in a while there is a great deal of pleurisy connected 
with the tuberculus condition, and I use intermittent traction, 
using automatic tabls which stretch the spine and relax it 
alternately. 

So great has been my success and the success of my pupils 
in treating tuberculosis in this manner that several large 
institutions ar now being establisht for carrying on the work 
on a large scale. 

The Seventeenth Edition of my book entitld, "The Natural 
Way," wil contain a full description of this method of diet 
and treatment for tuberculosis and allied conditions.

HELTH VERSUS THE GERM THEORY* 
By George Starr White, M. D. 

Helth and the wether ar two subjects we ar all interested in. 
Regardless of how yu feel or the state of the wether, would 
yu not rather be greeted by, "This is a fine day*' and "Yu ar 
looking fine" than by "What miserabl wether" and "Yu ar 
looking miserabl, what is the matter?" 

A good art teacher always instructs his pupils to select 
the most perfect model to be obtaind until they ar wel 
grounded in the work. He explains that the "ideal" should be 
implanted in the mind so deeply that ugly figures cannot 
efface it. 

The landscape artist selects the ideal to work from, becaus 
it makes him reach out for the most perfect. The architect 
studies ideal plans so he can better attain to them. The 
designer gazes at the most perfect drawings so he can better 
bring his dreams to perfection. The inventor visualizes his 
pet idea as perfection itself, and aims to reach it. 

All thru the arts the visualization of perfection has always 
been the basis of instruction. Why should not the same practis 
be aplied to the art of attaining Helth? That is one art that 
custom seems to hav so perverted as to make the study of 
perfection an exception rather than the rule. 

Insted of our magazines being fild with articls regarding 
diseas and how to get wel, would it not be better if they gave 
talks on how to liv to keep wel? 

To teach peopl that we ar born and reard in an atmosfere 
loaded with diseas-giving micro-organisms that ar Habl to 
attack us at any time, no matter how we liv, is like telling 
them that a great earthquake is liabl at any time to swallo 
them up. Fear and aprehension ar bred in the individual 
rather than a feeling of security, provided he walks in 
Nature's footsteps. 

To teach a child that it wil be punisht, regardless of what 
it does, would not be conduciv to making a lovabl person. 
I believ the great principl of caus and effect should be the 
first teaching given to a child, and this teaching should be 
enlarged upon as the child matures. 

*Part of one of the author's popular lectures.

If we wer all taut that abusing our bodies by over- 
indulgence of our appetites would mean reaping punishment 
in direct ratio with the license taken, the incentiv for Hving 
rightly would be a thousand fold greater than teaching what 
to do when we becum il. 

The epidemic of influenza was an exampl of what rong 
teaching and training can do. Insted of being told that by 
right living only a few would be affected by the diseas, news 
went out broadcast that a great epidemic had overtaken the 
world, and we wer all liabl to be engulft in this great avalanche 
of horribl germs, unless we took such and such remedies in 
the way of drugs and ate plenty of nourishing food. 

The trend of nearly all of the popular medical articls is 
along the lines of germs causing all diseas, and that serums 
and vaccins ar the antidote for all these "germ bites." We 
kno this is rong. If we wer taut that we ingest more food 
than our sistem can wel take care of, or if we ingest the rong 
kind of food, or if we mistreat our bodies by excesses of any 
kind that we wil suffer for it and be more liabl to be a victim 
of diseas, we would all watch our step more than at the 
present time. 

Right living and right thinking ar the antidotes for all diseas. 
A body traind to think rightly and liv rightly is traind to 
ward off diseas. The sycology of believing that germs caus 
diseas is entirely inimical to helth. It is a good deal like the 
old teaching that if we ar doomd to eternal punishment we 
wil get it no matter what we do. Most of us hav lernd that 
the sycology of this is disastrus, becaus it makes us reckless. 

If we ar taut, from childhood that it is our method of living 
that makes us sick, we wil be all the more particular about 
the way we liv. 

If the sanitary engineers believ that mosquitoes made the 
water stagnant, rather than that the stagnant water attracted 
the mosquitoes, they would not be draining our miasmatic 
swamps. 

We should all be taut that insted of germs being enemies 
and causing diseas, they ar frends and scavengers and ar 
attracted by diseas. 

A cuntry child is taut that a bull wil chase him if he has 
on a red garment. Hence it is only a reckless child that wil 
go into the presence of a spirited bull with a red garment on.

If we eat, dres, and conduct ourselvs in such a manner as to 
load our body with diseasd material, we should be taut that 
that diseasd material wil injure the body in some manner, and 
that as the soil is, so wil be the attraction for any specific 
micro-organism. 

Nature's laws ar immutabl. They ar the same for the 
great vastness of space as they ar for the ultra-microscopic 
world, and the same for the ultra-microscopic world as 
they ar for the vastness of the universe. If we can once 
realize that Nature is the same, regardless of size, we would 
be in a position to better study and find out her real, immutabl 
laws insted of studying to prove theories. 

We kno by experience that water seeks its level, that a ball 
thrown into the air wil cum back to the erth, that placing 
our fingers in a fire wil result in a burn, that stagnant water 
is the natural habitat for mosquitoes, that the bee is attracted 
to nectar, and that parasites seek their natural host. These ar 
laws that ar plain to our naked eye. Why should we expect 
that Nature would change her methods and laws becaus the 
organism is too small for the naked eye to observ it? 

A pupil of Virchow, the German sientist, who is credited 
with being the father of the theory of germs causing diseas, 
told me that Virchow not long before his deth told him that 
wer he to liv his life over again, he would devote himself 
to proving that the germ sought its natural soil in diseas, 
rather than that it causd the diseas. 

I hav talkt this matter over with many sientists and very 
many hav told me they thot that germs wer the effect of 
diseas rather than the caus, but inasmuch as sientists had 
dwelt so long upon proving the theory that the germs causd 
the diseas, and becaus public opinion had now been educated 
to that belief, it would be disastrus to the sience of medicin to 
acknoledge that again sience had made a monstrus blunder. 

Sientists ar prone to adhere to a false belief if they hav 
once proclaimd it to be true. This was very forcibly brot 
to my attention by a wel known sientist when I discust with 
him the errors that had crept into literature regarding natural 
filosofy. He said he agreed with me that the fundamental 
works in all our colleges on these subjects wer rong, but that 
inasmuch as over a hundred years had been spent in designing 
instruments to prove certain theories as they now exist, an 

three hundred twenty-three 



acknoledgement of the great error must cum by degrees rather 
than abruptly. 

Littl by littl some of our best sientists ar beginning to 
realize that the germ theory is the product of a diseasd mind. 
There was a time when foren-born theories wer aped by 
sientists of all scools, but the time has cum when American- 
born ideas ar in the lead. This is wel illustrated by the fact 
that Dr. Fraser, one of the foremost Canadian sientists, has 
carrid on all kinds of experiments to prove that germs ar not 
the caus of diseas, but ar the effect thereof. 

It is also strikingly illustrated by the recent experiments 
with the germs said to be the caus of the Spanish influenza. 
Extended experiments hav been made upon a hundred or more 
volunteer marines to see if they could be made to hav the Flu 
by having the so-calld Flu germs put into their stomacs, on the 
mucus membrane, and even injected into their blood. Not one 
was made sick thereby. Similar experiments hav been made 
by other sientists with nearly all kinds of germs. 

Why then ar we continually being taut by the public pres 
that germs caus diseas? Now, we cum to the great calamity 
of the day, namely, that littl by littl commerciahsm has taken 
hold of the cuntry as an octopus takes hold of its prey. Great 
industries hav arisen for the manufacture of anti-germ wepons 
— serums and vaccines. Wer the germ theory of diseas 
eradicated from the minds of the peopl, all these great indus- 
tries would cum to naut. It is on the same principl that had 
warring nations been taut in all their institutions of lerning 
that war should not be, that arbitration was the method of 
settling all disputes, the great ammunition works would hav 
had to close their doors. However, these great hel furnaces 
hav been working for years producing ammunition. At last 
their great storehouses wer bulging and they said they must 
find a way of selling them, so must start a war. We all 
kno the result. A spark can kindl a conflagration that knows 
no limits. 

Suppose that our reserch institutions should spend their 
resources in proving that germs wer the result of diseas rather 
than the caus. There is no dout but that they would decide 
that they wer the result of diseas. Such a decision would be 
disastrus to the great welth of material and mony that is now 
piled up becaus of the germ theory. 

three hundred twenty-four 



Besides this, there is another great reason for institutions 
not being founded for proving that the germ theory is not 
correct. That is that sientists kno that the public would lose 
all faith in the modern "sience of medicin" if the findings 
should be against the present germ theory. 

Yu wil say that the public pres has given us many reports 
regarding the great benefits achievd by vaccination and serum 
treatment. I can anser this by giving as an exampl of so- 
calld ''expert testimony" right at our very doors. When one 
set of sientists ar hired to prove that poison is not in the 
stomac of a ded man, they somehow report that it is not there. 
When another set ar hired to prove that it is there, somehow 
or other they find it. This same diversity in expert testimony 
is found in nearly every trial where "expert" testimony is 
employd. 

Some years ago in a notorius insanity case in the east, I was 
askt if I would make my findings in favor of the defendant 
if I wer employd by him. When I told them that I would 
make my findings according to the facts of the case, they told 
me they did not want me. Similar reports hav been given me 
by sientists of all kinds. 

Now, is it out of the relm of reason to think that those 
who compile the statistics to prove that vaccination and serum 
therapy is beneficial to mankind should make them in the 
affirmativ? I am sorry to say that suspicion may rest on the 
compilers of the statistics in favor of vaccin and serum 
therapy. 

Some wil say that the vaccin against tyfoid has been of 
great value. Let us look at the facts. The serum profylactic 
treatment for tyfoid began in February 1912. Careful investi- 
gation of army and navy records do not sho any such flowery 
findings as the sponsors for inoculation would make out. The 
diseas had been nearly wiped out in the army before the men 
had been inoculated. Tyfoid stil occurs and occasions deth 
altho every man in the army and navy is vaccinated and re- 
vaccinated against tyfoid. A peculiar circumstance is that 
at least one diseas has appeard that was unknown before the 
inoculation was introduced. This is what is calld "para- 
tyf oid." Twenty years ago sanitary mesures wer given far 
les attention than they ar at the present time. Many wonder- 
ful strides hav been made in sanitation during the last decade. 

three hundred twenty-five 



Sanitation, right living and right thinking wil stamp out any 
diseas. 

The deth rate of the U. S. army in 1897 was 3.14 per 1000. 
The average for the preceding decade is given by the Surgeon- 
General as 4.77; but in the six months ending October 18, 
1918, according to the figures from the Surgeon-General, 
publisht in the Public Helth Reports, the deth rate of soldiers 
in camps and cantonments in the U. S. was 23.01 per 1000. 
What was the caus of this frightful increas? If it was the 
Spanish Influenza, then why was it that so many deths 
occurd in the camps made up of yung, vigorus, wel-fed, 
and wel-cared-for soldiers who had been pickt out as being 
in the perfection of helth and cared for in the most sanitary 
manner? At. the signing of the armistice there wer aprox- 
imately one and a half million troops in the U. S. The deth 
toll from the late epidemic was up to the first of October 
estimated 20,000. In a singl week in October there wer 6,266 
deths attributed to the Flu in the camps. Even if the total 
deths for the whole period of the Flu wer only 20,000, the 
rate per 100,000 would be 1,333. In the civilian population, 
made up of the old, feebl, suffering, dying, as wel as infants 
and those living in a most unsanitary manner, the deth rate 
was on an average 302 to the 100,000. Thus it is seen that in 
spite of the vaccination and serum treatment, the deth rate 
in our cantonments and camps during this epidemic was about 
43^ times greater than among our promiscuous civilian popul- 
ation. This is food for thot! It is astounding! It is a mon- 
strus calamity ! These findings should make every person who 
believs in liberty, especially medical liberty, demand an 
investigation. 

Vaccination and serum treatment hav proved a gigantic 
failure and I belie v is the caus at the present time of more 
deths than wars and pestilences. 

During the past four years the whole sistem of living and 
thinking thruout the world has been fundamentally alterd. 
The times hav causd as gigantic a shock to humanity as if they 
had been thrown into midocean and told to swim for shore 
or drown. Parents hav mournd over the deth of their sons 
fighting for the overthro of autocracy. Those who wer not 
in the conflict did not kno from day to day when a volcano was 
going to explode under them. The whole world was war and 

three hundred twenty-six 



rumors of war. The very horizon seemd to be colord with 
blood. Never in all history has the world been so disrupted. 
Things wer so disorganized that one could say with Macbeth 
that men appeard as trees walking and that darkness did the 
face of the erth entomb. 

How then can we wonder that this pandemic has spred over 
the erth? Could we expect anything else? It did not need a 
soothsayer or a seer to predict this great world calamity. In 
spite of all these facts, sientists tel us that this pandemic is 
causd by some germ. If they did not claim it was causd by 
some germ, the great parasites (the serum and vaccin manu- 
facturers) could not hav had an excuse for the use of their 
"hel broth" brewd by Satan's witches. 

What has the public pres been doing to restore helth and 
confidence to the peopl? They hav employd hedlines that 
frighten the public and brot about a state of panic. They 
also advizd the mask, the devil's instrument for taking away 
from a person the very essential of life — fresh air. Insted of 
telling the peopl to smile and not worry, to eat and liv rightly, 
and avoid talking about calamity and destruction, they took 
the opposit course. What can we expect in the way of helth 
propaganda when the pres that molds public opinion wil 
do such things? 

It is no wonder that the deth rate in hospitals was 15 to 
20% more than in private families. In the hospitals insted of 
being met with a smile, the sick wer met with a mask. 

We hear of the control of diseas. Diseas is not controlld, 
it wil hav its sway. Immunity in the way of personal resist- 
ance wil prevent diseas, and those who ar not found fit must 
pay the penalty. Sunshine, fresh air, temperate habits, and a 
happy frame of mind ar natural resistance bilders. 

Fear is without dout the greatest caus of diseas. Fear is 
depressing, helth destroying, peace shattering. Fear has been 
spred broadcast over the land, and for what reason? Who 
has been benefited by this propaganda of fear? 

The Detroit Free Press in an editorial hedded "Fear and the 
Flu" wel says, ''The foUoing facts, voucht for by a prom- 
inent physician connected with the Detroit Board of Helth, 
ar worth pondering at a time when the air is fild with Flu 
germs and with cautions, warnings, preventativ mesures, and 
treatments of the diseas.

"While the State Flu ban was on, one of our hospitals, 
which is used exclusivly for contagious diseases, was crowded 
to its utmost capacity with hundreds of Flu cases. The nurses 
accustomd to handling contagious diseases took the same 
general precautions in Flu cases as in all others. Not one of 
them got the Flu. 

"A few cases overflowd into another hospital ordinarily not 
used for contagious diseases. Here the nurses took all the 
precautions especially recommended against Flu but sixty of 
them came down with the diseas. Doutless fifty-nine of the 
sixty overlooked one precaution — they forgot to be unafraid. 
Ad to a bad scare an ordinary cold, and fever is almost 
certain to appear. A fever invites other compUcations quickly, 
weighs down bodily resistance, and there yu ar ■ — redy for 
neumonia f oUowd by flowers and slo music. Prescription : 
Avoid taking cold, but if yu do get one, do not think the 
wheeze of your pipes is Gabriel's call blown thru a Flu 
trumpet." 

Suppose all the papers thruout the land had printed such 
sensibl articls, do yu suppose our street cars and bilboards 
would hav been coverd with placards reading : 

"If yu hav the Flu, call a doctor." 

"Any simptom of a cold or fever indicates Flu. Call a 
doctor." 

"The Flu is a dangerus diseas. If yu hav any simptoms 
of it, go to bed and call a doctor." 

"Pains in the legs may be the first simptom of Flu. Go to 
bed and call a doctor." 

If this is not suggestiv pathology, what is it? Helth Boards 
should study sycology if they wish to prevent diseas rather 
than create panic and caus diseas. 

The next time the Flu cums this way, as it surely wil if 
history repeats itself, I would propose signs like the foUoing 
to be placed in all daily papers : 

The FLU is causd by atmosferic conditions. 
If yu liv and think rightly, yu wil not catch it. 

Right living means right eating as wel as right habits. 
The FLU likes a grouch, a cigaret smoker, a glutton. 
To avoid the FLU, smile and liv rightly. 

three hundred twenty-eight 



Smile and fast and the FLU won't last. 

The FLU wil fly fast from those who laf and fast. 

FLU, FLU, FLU, 
I*m not afraid of yu. 

Why get blue over the FLU, 
I'm not afraid of yu. 

What can I do to wipe out the FLU ? 
Smile, fast, and say Shoo, Shoo ! 

What can I do to wipe out the FLU? 
Smile, fast, and take castor oil too. 

A furd tung indicates a bad stomac. 

Do not eat for a day or two, and clean the bowels out wel 
with castor oil or epsom salts. 

A clean, helthy stomac wil prevent the FLU. 

If yu feel feverish or as if a cold wer cumming on, take 
a good dose of salts and do not eat for two days. Drink 
plenty of cool water. 

Smile and keep the FLU away. 

Avoid all coal-tar products and opium derivativs as yu 
would the bite of a snake. They lower resistance. 
The FLU attacks those with lowerd resistance. 

If yu get the FLU, go to bed. Take a good dose of castor 
oil or epsom salts. Eat nothing for two or three days. Drink 
plenty of cool water. Smile and do not worry. 

Among those who hav had the FLU, but foUowd out the 
above directions, the deth rate has been practically nil, while 
among others it has been from five to seven per cent, or more. 

Let this be our motto: 

I wil think helth 

I wil talk helth 

I wil attain helth by 

Eating les 

Exercising more 

Cleansing the body inside and out 

Looking on the bright side. 

three hundred twenty-nine 



In closing, I need not apologize for having said so much 
regarding the Flu, becaus what is true of the Flu is true of 
any diseas. Let us resolv henceforth to think helth, study 
helth, look for helth. 

Let us try to hav helth-study made a specialty in our public 
scools. Let us try to hav the yung educated to kno that there 
is an effect for every caus. Let us all lern that to attain to 
perfect manhood and womanhood, we must project before 
our minds an ideal, and let that ideal be a being that thinks 
rightly and livs rightly, and in consequence thereof is a 
perfect image of our Maker. 



Germs Make Them Hungry. 

(Associated Press Dispatch) 

Boston, Dec. 13, 1918. — Experiments undertaken by the 
Navy Department at the navy public helth servis hospital on 
Gallups Islands to asertain the caus and spred of influenza hav 
had merely negativ results, according to a report given out 
today. 

One hundred volunteers who hav been under observation 
for several weeks hav had influenza germs placed in their 
nostrils and throats and hav eaten them with their food and 
some hav been inoculated with serums, but no cases of the 
diseas hav developt thus far. 

Increast appetite and more vigorus helth hav been the only 
notisabl results of the experiment, according to the physicians. 

Note. — Similar experiments hav been conducted by other 
investigators and their findings ar the same and always wit 
be, if honestly done.

GLAND IMPLANTATION 

It does not seem possibl that in this enlightend generation 
the implanting of glands of any sort from a ded person or a 
ded animal into a living one would be seriusly considerd, 
but thru a shrewd and expensiv method of publicity much has 
been said about it in the public pres of late. 

To look for the "fountain of youth" without earning it, 
is like looking for the pots of gold at the end of the rainbo. 
Right living and right thinking wil banish "senility/' and by 
so living no one would die of "old age." He would simply 
pas on into the other relm becaus it was time and becaus 
that is the natural law of the universe. 

The very fact that "boards of helth" sanction the 
experimental implanting of glands, be they testicls or other 
glands, into the inmates of prisons or insane asylums, shows 
the debased and degraded set to which the medical profession 
and pubHc look for aid. 

One might with propriety say that anyone who seriusly talks 
of implanting glands from one animal or person to another to 
rejuvenate them, is a pervert, and a pervert of the most 
dangerus type. (Personally I think he is.) 

"As a man thinketh in his hart, so is he." 



The folloing is from the Helth Department of the Los 
Angeles Examiner of Oct. 29, T919. It is so good and so 
perfectly voices my own sentiments that I can do no better 
than copy it. 

"By Keeping Yung in Mind We Can Make Old Age a Mith 
"The folloing letter to the editor is in itself an excellent 
editorial. It is -a great pity that such filosofy cannot be 
universally taut. 

We hav not yet determind the scope and power of what 
is cald 'human thot' and its bearing on our fisical and 
emotional nature. That its influence is great beyond our imag- 
ining we kno, and one of the possibl discoveries of the future 
wil be its regulation for the uplift and benefit of mankind. 
What we do kno beyond question is that human thot employd 
as our correspondent suggests wil bring about the identical 
condition he describes. 

three hundred thity-one 



This is so true that one wonders why men and women 
deliberately condem themselvs to premature old age by their 
own election. To be yung in thot is to be yung in spirit, and 
while the ravages of age may not be arrested merely becaus 
we deny them, there is no dout that many years can be added 
to life by retaining as much natural buoyancy as possibl, and 
if it has no other effect it may at least enabl us to gro old 
gracefully. 

That is why we recommend that every reader digest this 
letter and at least resolv that if they cannot retain youth they 
wil not invite and encourage old age. 

'Dear Sir: 

'Allow me to say that I do not consider this latest discovery 
regarding the restoration of youth to those afflicted with old 
age worth any person's consideration. 

No man can ever retain or regain his youth who has 
imprinted in the subconscious mind an impression of old age 
with its akes and pains and hmitations, and yet that is the 
very concept that most of us carry in our minds and which 
gradually sinks into the subconscious and manifests in that 
condition which most of us dread, viz., old age and disability 
in its varius forms. 

How often do we hear these negativ expressions, 'T am 
getting old," "when I am old," "the older I get," "I am too 
old for that," etc., etc., and these suggestions being past on to 
the subconscious must sho forth in simptoms of old age and 
decline in vigor, and according to the law governing the 
subjectiv mind, it cannot be otherwize. 

And not content with bringing old age upon ourselvs, we 
must pas these lovely suggestions to our fello men! I hav 
often herd the expressions "yu ar too old," "when yu wer 
yung," "yu ar getting on in years," etc., etc., used by persons 
who, of course, didn't kno any better, and these suggestions 
being nearly always accepted by the other party, who, of 
course, knew no better, must in time hav their inevitabl 
result, viz., old age and deth, helpt, of course, by auto- 
suggestion or race consciousness. 

Man has always lookt outside for the "fountain of youth," 
and yet he has always had it within himself ! 

three hundred thirty-two 



The man who constantly carries a youthful concept of 
himself need never gro old, provided, of course, that 
he uses common sense in the helth essentials, viz., air, water 
and food, and should be as supl and energetic at 75 as he was 
at 25 ! And yet the average man considers that the age of 60 
means the beginning of the end and begins to talk of the 
days when he was yung, and declares himself old and useless 
and — O, wel ! "As a man thinketh in his hart, so is he." 

To conclude, I maintain that no "dope" injected into the 
veins of a man can ever restore his youth except temporarily, 
so long as he carries in his mind a picture of old age, neither 
can he retain his youth and vitality becaus the negativ suggest- 
ions given the subjectiv mind must manifest in the outer 
according to the strength of the suggestions, for "As within, 
so without, caus, effect" is absolute law. 

Truly yours.

THE DEMON NICOTIN 

Space forbids my going into discussing the effects of 
nicotin upon the body in this book. The Seventh Edition of 
my Lecture Course to Physicians has much to say regarding 
the effects of nicotin upon the body and those who wish 
to get absolutely reliabl information on the subject may refer 
to that volume. 

I might say, however, that the time wil cum when the 
use of cigarets wil be prohibited just as much as the use 
of intoxicating liquors is now prohibited. I do not believ 
the general public kno of the terribl calamity that cigaret 
smoking is to our land. How a self-respecting man or 
woman, especially of the educated or professional clas, can 
deliberately take up cigaret smoking and then continue in 
it, is a mistery to me. I understand that many contract 
the habit just to "settl the nervs," but like other dopes, it 
leads to nervs more unsettld after every smoke. I hav 
charity for those who contract the habit, but for those who 
wil continue setting the awful exampl to the yung, words 
ar too inadequate to express condemnation. 

The cigaret habit is a terribl indictment against America 
with all her resources for lerning and enlightenment. 

To even mention the sending of missionaries to foren cun- 
tries, say nothing of doing it, is babyish. Some of the societies 
that pretend to be aiding the "poor hethens" ar so rotten with 
vice that even satan, if a person, would be ashamed to 
associate with them. 

How any self-respecting publications can publish adver-

BIRTH CONTROL OR MURDER? 

No one would think of paying any kind of a price for a 
dog without a pedigree. Neither would they think of paying 
anything but a very ordinary price for a trotting horse or 
a milk cow without knowing their pedigree. 

When it cums to human beings, however, it is quantify 
insted of quality that is wanted, judging from the laws as 
they ar now in vogue. 

Altho the true meaning of "the law," as I understand it, 
is "the concensus of public opinion," yet on this subject I 
am sure it is a misnomer, becaus popular opinion is for birth 
control and the bettering of the human race — in other words, 
quality rather than quantity. 

I am hartily in favor of any movement that wil giv the 
humans at least as good a sho as dogs, cats, horses, cows, 
birds, etc. Some may misjudge me for saying even this, but 
those who talk against birth control or selection of mates on 
the basis of pedigree, or I might better say helth, as a rule 
ar debased peopl. 

If the family record, or even the personal record, of those 
who hav gotten the laws on the statute books against birth 
control wer known, I fancy many family skeletons would be 
brot out of concealment. 

I feel sure that when the time cums (as it wil) when women 
hav the say in such matters, the selection of mates wil be 
on a basis that wil at least be on a par with that of the "lower" 
animals. 

All Children Ar Legitimate 

In a book of this kind I cannot very wel discuss the birth- 
control subject at any length, but I do want to bring my 
reader's attention to the subject of "legitimate children." If 
there is anything on erth that is legitimate, it is the baby. 
There is no motiv higher than that of bringing human beings 
into the world. There ar two fundamental laws of all life, 
self-preservation and self -propagation. 

The child should not be condemd becaus its parents hav not 
been thru certain prescribed legal ceremonies. 



The f olloing appeard as an editorial in the Evening Herald, 
Los Angeles, of Oct. 18, 1920, and strikes such a vital subject 

three hundred thirty-five 



that I am copying it here in ful. I hope it wil make my readers 
think. 

"Dorothy Canfield Fisher, a worker for the Red Cross in 
France during the war, tels a story that should startl and put 
to shame the cuntry that ignores and therefore permits the 
kilHng, or worse, of 34,000 children every year. 

"In France, when a child is born 'fatherless,' the govern- 
ment sees to it that the child has a chance to liv. As Miss 
Fisher says, the French government realizes that "while there 
may be illegitimate parents, about whom many harsh things 
can justly be said, there is no such thing as an illegitimate 
baby." In France they care for the unfortunate child, placing 
it with a woman, usually the mother of children, who is wel 
paid and whose interest is in the permanent welfare of the 
child. 

"In this cuntry the attitude — public, private and official — 
toward an unfortunate, 'badly-born' child, would seem to make 
of that child a criminal, an offender against the law, a creature 
that cannot be too quickly kild by "baby farming." 

"And this, in spite of the fact that: 'If there is a singl 
human soul on this globe who is absolutely free from the 
slightest responsibility about the conduct of those parents, 
it is the baby.' 



"The average number of children 'illegitimately' born in the 
United States is 34,000. It is safe to say that at least 30,000 
of these ar KILD, suddenly, or by slow starvation and neglect, 
the miserabl mothers as a rule not knowing what has happened 
to them, not daring to ask. 

"Here is a picture, wel drawn, not exaggerated, of the 
treatment that our 'civilization' accords, not occasionally, 
but every year, to thousands of unfortunate girls. 

"What awaits her and the baby? They disappear into a 
world the aw fulness of which is beyond our imagination, a 
world of charlatans, unscrupulus or callus doctors and grasp- 
ing, ruthless midwives, whose only idea — this is a plain, 
literal statement of fact — is to wring as much mony out 
of the girl as they can, counting on the cruel pressure society 
puts on her to hide and deny her own child; and after they 
hav extorted all the mony which playing on her terror and 
inexperience and confusion of mind wil produce, their next 

three hundred thirty-six 



idea is to kil off as soon as possibl the baby which she has 
entrusted to them, in order that they may be free to start on 
another ghouHsh hunt for another hapless girl whose innocent 
baby may be used as another lever to secure more money. 

"And nobody raises a hand to prevent this ! We mothers 
in homes 'don't know anything about it;' 'never thot of it 
before.' 

"The worst is that baby killing on a wholesale scale is not 
confined to human wild beasts that for profit prey upon the 
unfortunate, unprotected mothers. So-calld 'charitabl instit- 
utions' ar past masters in the art of murdering frendless 
children. , ■ — jT^t^ 

"Of babies taken from unmarrid yung mothers and put in 
so-calld 'hospitals from 80 to 95 out of every 100 die.' 
This is an extract from an official report: 

"A special study of babies who enterd one such institution 
while they wer les than a month old showd that in the fifteen 
years, beginning in 1900, not a singl one who was not removed 
from the institution within six months livd. 

"This givs yu the record for one month of one small 
institution supposed to 'take care of babies': 

"In September thev took in fifteen and sent thirteen out to 
be buried, like littl drownd puppies or kittens, in the refuse- 
heap where the ded babies ar carrid, two of them in each box. 
If only one dies at a time the littl body waits a day or so til 
a ded comrade is brot to keep him company. 

"How does that impress yu for 'Christian' civilization in 
the year of our Lord 1920? 

"Christ said : 'But whosoever shal offend one of these littl 
ones which believ in me, it wer better for him that a milstone 
wer hangd about his neck and that he wer drownd in the 
depth of the sea.' 

"And again : 'Take heed that ye despize not one of these 
littl ones ; for I say unto yu, , That in heven their angels do 
always behold the face of my Father which is in heven." 

"Thirty thousand of them from America appear before 
that face ever}^ year. 

"And in a 'charitabl, Christian institution' they kil 13 out 
of 15 babies the very month that they ar 'welcomd,' and for 
economy bury them two in a box. Quite a wide margin be- 
tween Christ's TEACHINGS and 'Christianity's' DOINGS.

"We hav strange ideas of 'Christianity' and of 'morals* in 
this cuntry where the law makes it a crime to teach prevention 
of childbirth and does nothing to protect the child or prevent 
its killing by slow torture once it is born. 

"Our imaginations ar feebl. We do not realize that every 
child murderd in 'baby farming' dies a hundred times, as its 
feebl littl hands reach out pitifully for food and for affection, 
until its poor dying eyes turn from a cold brutal face to the 
wall and close forever. 

"We organize funds, if yu pleas, for 'the poor, children of 
Armenia.' We want this cuntry to send ships and an army to 
stop the atrocious murders. Did anybody ever suggest that 
the Turks murder 30,000 Armenian babies every year? No, 
the Turks ar a vicious lot, undoutedly, but they can boast no 
such average of murder as that. 

"That magnificent average is reservd for the United States, 
THE LAND OF CHRISTIANITY AND CIVILIZATION, 
the land that thinks it ought to TEACH civilization to the 
rest of the world. 

"Better begin at home and stop the murder every year of 
tens of thousands of children, whose only crime is weakness, 
whose misery is due to the fact that women ar weak, men 
brutal and all of us selfish."

ANOTHER MEDICAL BLUNDER 

Blood Examination Desired for Every Case of Stilbirth

ding (Blood Examination, etc.), and the folloing ar extracts

for the last five years has been slightly above 10,000 and almost 
4,000 of these hav occurd up-state. Prominent diagnosticians

causd by sifilis. It is wel known that sifilis may caus repeated

first month. Jonathan Hutchinson and Parrott and Diday and 
Fournier had told us that." Osier estimated that at least 20% 
of the stilbirths and between 15,000 and 20,000 of the 90,000 
deths of infants within the first year reported in England for 
the year 1915 wer due directly to sifilis." 



I want to call the readers' attention to the fact that this 
plea to physicians is to hav "the mother reciev careful and 
thoro treatment." Now the "treatment" outlined is by Salver- 
san, which has been found to be almost useless, or by mercury 
which leavs the sistem in perhaps a worse condition than 
it was before the mercury was given. 

No advice is given to the physician on natural methods of 
treating sifilis, which not only cures the diseas, but leavs the 
body in a good condition rather than a more decrepit condition. 
Very few physicians that hav not studied Nature's laws can 
realize that sifilis can be cured by diet and hygien along with 
powerful radiant light. 

I also wish to call attention to the fact that the methods 
in vogue, and w^hich ar recommended by the Board of Helth 
for asertaining whether a person hav sifiUs or not, ar ackno- 
ledged by all authorities to not be correct fifteen times out of 
a hundred. 

Take that into consideration with the fact that diagnosis 
as taut in the orthodox medical colleges of today does not 
pretend to turn out diagnosticians who can average 50% 
correct diagnosis. 

All this propaganda sent out by State Boards of Helth ar 
instigated by the Federal Department of Helth and ar of 
the most insidius and damnabl type. 

The hidden scheme is to put organized State Medicin — 
political medical parasites — in control of the pregnant woman 
and later of her child. 

History has proved that "regular" medical men kno nothing 
about sifilis — neither its diagnosis nor cure. Yet they presume 
to "supervize" the "expectant mother." 

When the peopl once realize that organized medicin never 
has cared, and never can care, a rap for the helth and wel- 
being of anyone, they wil wake up and smite every political 
bil introduced by the medical ghouls parading in the clothes 
of honest and humane persons. 

three. hundred forty 



The clergy as a rule, ar hoodwinkt by the political doctors 
— State Medicin — in short ar aiding and standing for medical 
despotism. 

The folloing is the wording of a petition being sent out by 
women voters who ar S'^eking medical liberty. 

"We, the undersignd Women Voters ernestly petition and 
urge that yu oppose with all your strength and influence the 
Bil allegd to be 'for the public protection of maternity and 
infancy' known as S. 3259 and H. R. 10925. We hold this 
mesure is subversiv of Constitutional garanties of freedom of 
home and person ; that it creates a medical inquisition revolt- 
ing to womanhood in its avowd purpose to peep and pry into 
sacred personal matters ; that it results in aggravating the 
perils of maternity; that it aims at the propagation of sec- 
tarian medical teachings and wil attempt the most intolerabl 
compulsions upon expectant mothers. See argument of H. B. 
Anderson, representing the American Medical Liberty League, 
in printed procedings of hearing on S. 3259, May 1, 1920, for 
further reasons.* 

Altho the Boards of Helth pretend to hav preparations so 
that men wil not take sifilis, and a great amount of literature 
has been printed for circulating among men so as to tel them 
how to prevent "catching" sifilis, yet there is scarcely ever 
a word said regarding the unfortunate "woman in the case." 

What a record it is for the State Helth Departments to 
sho such a tremendus array of sifihs when they pretend to 
hav everything not only to prevent sifilis, but to cure it if 
contracted. The fact of the matter is that the much vaunted 
preventativs ar not preventativs at all, as is evident by the 
number of cases of sifilis on board many of our men-of-war 
or in our armies during the World War. Thousands of men 
"took chances" just becaus they had a preparation that they 
wer told would prevent contagion. Today they ar subjects 
of charity — ruind by sifilis.

"FLU" FINDINGS 

The folloing articl appeard in the Medical Summary of 
Philadelphia, Pa., February and March, 1919, issues. 

Several thousand reprints wer made of this articl and 
sent to interested physicians. 

Many medical and other journals and publications printed 
extracts from this articl. 

Since this articl was publisht I hav recievd authentic 
reports of over 4,000 more cases and after summing up the 
reports from all over the U. S., the deth toll from "Flu" 
under so-calld orthodox or "regular" medical care was 1 to 
each 18 cases, while from drugless methods the loss was 
les than 1 to each 860 cases. 

Think of the thousands and millions who owe their lives 
to the drugless physicians ! 

THE "FLU" 

Direct and Indirect Observations of Over Eight Thousand 
Five Hundred Cases 

By George Starr White, M. D. 

My specialty is that of diagnostician and consultant as 
wel as instructor of new and original methods in diagnosis 
and treatment. I hav pupils thruout the world and am in 
regular correspondence with several hundred physicians 
of all scools. 

From my own practis and from the reports recievd from 
my pupils, I am abl to submit the folloing information 
regarding the "Great Calamity of 1918"— The "Flu." 

To begin with, let me say that never before has the public 
had so littl confidence in the medical profession or in Helth 
Boards. On the other hand, never before has the public so 
intensely observd the newer and more natural methods of 
healing. If the "regular" physicians ever expect to again 
hold the confidence of the public, they must change their 
tactics completely. 

If a general loses his hed, how can his subordinates be 
expected to be level hedded? Medical men, as a rule, so 
completely lost their beds during this epidemic that they 
died by the hundreds from fright or their own dope, as wel 
as frightening the whole nation into a panic. No greater 

three hundred forty-two 



panic could hav obtaind had a foren army been invading 
this cuntry by sea, land and air. Insted of being calm and 
using common sense to treat simptoms as they appeard, 
they rusht to telegraf offises and wired far and near for 
information as to the mode of procedure. The information 
they recievd from "hedquarters" often was the very worst 
that could hav been given, and to it can be laid the blame 
for the deths of thousands of our citizens. 

Suppose an army general made such an awful mistake, 
what would be his lot? No excuses would be adequate. He 
would either be shot at sunrize or be retired to oblivion. 

Do not infer that I think the medical fraternity ar all 
culprits or fools, but if they treated themselvs and their 
own families so they died, how can their methods be 
trusted ? 

We all knew this epidemic would surely reach us when 
it was raging in Europe. Did we benefit from their experi- 
ence? No. I saw some of the advance-sheet information 
sent out by the Medical Boards of some foren cuntries. 
They said to giv certain coal-tar products and plenty of 
nourishing food. Some of these coal-tar products wer of 
foren origin and made by large foren corporations. Peopl 
died like flies in a trap while recieving such treatment, but 
soon this cuntry sent out similar advice thru the public pres 
and the Helth Boards. 

Then, becaus the victims died so fast, frantic calls for 
serums and vaccins wer sent out, and every kind of stuf 
was grabd up, and doctors began to use anything in the 
serum or vaccin line. Stil the victims died and kept on 
dying. Not a singl large laboratory in the land set about to 
find out some natural method for conquering this great 
scourge. Like the ostrich, their beds wer set and there they 
hung rather than lift their beds to be liberated. 

Why did traind men and women act thus? Their medical 
education is at fault. They hav never been taut to think 
along natural lines. Another reason is that the World War 
has undermined the mentality of many who might hav 
otherwize been level heded. 

Let us get down to something that may help us next 
time, for a "next time" wil surely cum. History repeats 
itself,

What Is the Flu? 

That the flu or Spanish influenza is pandemic, there is no 
dout, for all parts of the world hav been smitten by it. 

The flu and grippe ar entirely different diseases. The 
"old fashiond grip" has always present a certain germ 
That germ finds its habitation in those having the simptoms 
calld regular influenza" or "la grippe." Not so with the 
flu. If the "grippe germs" happen to be found in company 
with other germs in one suffering with simptoms calld flu, 
it is just becaus they stept over to see if the soil wer suitabl 
for their propagation. 

The B-D-C Findings in Grippe and Flu 

The B-D-C (Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic) tests ar made by 
means of colord screens. Years ago I found that a helthy 
individual exhibited certain reflexes when facing either 
north or south, if a certain tecnic wer carrid out. If, how- 
ever, the person wer suffering from any toxemia, this 
magnetic-meridian reflex would not obtain. After much ex- 
perimentation I found that certain radiant colors tempor- 
arily restored the lost reflex. The screen representing 
certain definit color radiations indicated definit toxemias. 
In this manner all known toxemias can be diagnosed at their 
very beginning — before they can be diagnosed by any other 
known method. 

By means of the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method, all 
toxemias can be classified, and in a manner very unlike any 
other classification. 

The reliability of my findings in Bio-Dynamo-Chromatics 
has been corroborated by two British sientists, Baines and 
Robertson. They hav proved by delicate instruments cer- 
tain fundamentals in fisics that exactly coincide with my 
Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic findings. 

The G-screen indicates regular, old-fashiond grippe or 
influenza. 

Exhaustiv tests on flu victims giv a G-reflex if the case 
is of the old-fashiond type thruout, but if of the new 1918 
variety, the screens 15, 17, 41, 49, 50, 84, 89, 100, 113, 134, 
and 144 hav elicited the normal reflex. 

For exampl, if No. 15-screen would elicit the reflex, no 
other screen would, as a rule. 

three hundred forty-four 



In some complicated cases, several of these named screens 
would elicit the normal reflex. 

These screens denote : 
No. 15. Anemia with cronic dispepsia, hevily coated tung. 
No. 17. Anemia with tyfoid simptoms. 
No. 41. Tuberculosis with complications. 
No. 49. Auto-intoxication with hepatic trubl, backake, 

eczema. 
No. 50. Auto-intoxication with hepatic complications, de- 
rangement of internal secretions. 
No. 84. Derangement of internal secretions, tuberculosis 

with some forms of auto-intoxication. 
No. 89. Auto-intoxication. 
No. 100. Some drug intoxications, anemia. 
No. 113. Drug intoxications, some gastric conditions. 
No. 134. Drug intoxications, auto-intoxication, disturbances 

in digestiv tract. 
No. 144. Weakness and trembling; cases where homeo- 
pathic gelsemium is indicated. 

The simptoms and the history of the case would always 
check up with the screen findings. 

The majority of cases gave the No. 84-reflex or the No. 
144-reflex if they wer sent to me before being drugd. If after 
treatment by coal-tar products of any kind, Nos. 100, 113 
or 134 would elicit the reflex, depending on the kind of 
drug used. 

Very many cases, after the patient was about, gave the 
A-reflex, which indicates tuberculosis, A few gave the F- 
reflex, which indicates malaria. Others gave the E-reflex 
which indicates a hepatic derangement. 

Some remarkabl findings wer observd in those who had 
at some time contracted sifilis or gonorrea. Many gave a 
pronounst C-reflex if affected with sifilis, or a D-reflex if 
affected with gonorrea. 

What the B-D-C Findings Indicate 

In the first place, these findings prove that the grippe 
and the flu are not the same. They prove that the flu is 
not a "germ diseas." They prove that some agency attacks 
a susceptibl victim and the leading simptoms depend upon 
the condition of the victim. 

three hundred forty-five 



For exampl, a tornado wil uproot some trees, break off 
some, bend some, and apparently not affect others — all 
depending upon the tree's condition and resistance. 

These findings also prove that any latent diseas in the 
victim is brot out. They also seem to sho that the patients 
wer often treated for flu when the case was entirely 
different. 

Many who had been told they had the flu I found had 
only a deranged stomac, tonsilitis, cronic constipation, 
malaria, jaundis, histeria, dismenorrea, pregnancy, etc. The 
treatment and time proved my findings to be correct. Prob- 
ably more gastric simptoms, concomitant with a cold and 
fright, wer diagnosed as flu than any other. Numbers told 
their physician they had the flu and told me the same, but 
I convinst them they wer suffering from fright, and nothing 
else. 

Clinical Observations and Deductions 

(a) In some families the strongest one would be stricken 
and the "sickly" ones went free, while one had been "ex- 
posed to contagion" as much as another. The "strong" 
one had eaten intemperately or had overworkt and was not 
careful of himself, while the "sickly" ones ate carefully and 
fortified themselvs more. 

(b) Pessimistic persons wer attackt while optimistic per- 
sons in the same family wer not. This showd the mental 
factor. 

(c) Hevy eaters fel victims more than others. 

Those suffering with cronic constipation wer easy 
victims. 

A hevily coated tung was often the first simptom, and 
then the "bad taste." 

These simptoms showd the lowerd resistance from diet- 
etic errors. They also showd the neurotic as wel as the 
digestiv factor. 

(d) Insomnia was prominent with some, while narco- 
lepsy (recurrent desire for sleep) was the leading simptom 
with others. 

Cyanosis, the blue color showing at finger and toe ends 
and lips, especially after taking coal-tar remedies, was a 
common simptom. Some lookt as if poisond by gas, show- 
ing an oxigen starvation. 

three hundred forty-six 



Many complaind of air hunger. Nose-bleed was common. 
Irregular, premature or delayd menstruation was often 
observd. 

Anemic persons wer often affected. Blood tests almost 
always showd a deficiency in white blood eels — leukopenia. 

These etiological factors point to an impaird blood suply 
and a vasomotor disturbance. 

(e) The odor of the skin was nearly always pronounst, 
showing a toxemia in some cases, and fear in others. 

(f ) The fatal cases wer nearly all victims of bronco- 
neumonia. They usually, if not always, began as bronco- 
neumonia, even tho the neumonia simptoms wer not at first 
observd. 

This shows that had the patient and doctor realizd how 
serius the case was and had at once instituted the correct 
treatment, these cases would not so often hav been fatal. 

(g) The majority of cases having the flu wer between 
the ages of nineteen and forty-five. Those who wer appar- 
ently the most robust fel the easiest victims. This shows 
that the robust ones either took greater chances and did 
not protect themselvs, or they had some unknown debility 
or intoxication. 

Gonorreic persons fel easy victims, as did those who had 
been "immunized" against neumonia, tyfoid, etc. Their re- 
sistance was at a lo eb tho they did not kno it. 

(h) One attack did not offer immunity, as some had it 
several times. Those who had real grippe last year or at 
any previus time, appeard to take the flu just the same as 
those who had never had grippe. 

Treatment Observations 

Those who ate "nourishing food" when they had a fever 
had a hard time or died. 

All the coal-tar products appeard to seal the victim's fate. 
He went down rapidly and died. 

The coal-tar and "nourishing- food" victims very often 
died as if "drownd in their own fluids." Impaird hart action 
and enforst toxemia seemd to be the caus. 

In one family of four — parents and two strong sons over 
twenty years of age — the whole family had the flu. One son 
was treated by a "regular" and given coal-tar products. The 
other was treated by a "homeopath" but was given coal-tar 

three hundred forty-seven 



products. The parents would take nothing. The two sons 
died, but the parents recoverd, tho nearly prostrated from 
grief. 

Vcitims of opium products died too fast too hardly be 
lookt after. If ever a person wants to be alive and hav his 
wits, it is when he has to fight off toxemia. Taking down 
the red flag of danger by stupor does not make the road safe. 

Strichnin forst the hart, as did adrenalin, and endocarditis 
resulted in scores of cases. 

Cold aplications to any part of the body except the hed 
workt great harm. To put cold on the chest of one suffering 
from a toxemia is a crime. The body has to giv off just so 
much more energy to rais the temperature of the chilld part. 

Hospital treatment proved disastrus. The records sho 
that the rate of deth in hospitals was appalling — 40 to 100 
per cent, in many instances. 

Vaccination of all kinds proved fatal. In fact, those most 
vaccinated show the greatest mortality. Look up the army 
records. The sight is sickening. The deth rate among the 
pickt, tested, and vaccinated and serumized men in our can- 
tonments was astounding and requires an "investigation." 

Serums of all kinds proved of no avail. Some say they 
"seemd to help," but those who used steril, normal salt 
solution "to ease the patient's mind" got better results. 

Cleaning out the sistem with castor oil or salines, and 
withholding all food except orange juice and plenty of water 
as long as there was any fever was the best plan of all, and 
saved more lives than any other one procedure except 
inspiring confidence and dispersing fear. 

The doctors who met their patients with a smiling face 
and a "yu wil soon be O. K." salute wer heroes. 

Those homeopaths who prescribed homeopathically 
achievd splendid results, but too often they followd "the 
official procedures" and kild their patients with coal-tar 
products and opium derivativs. 

The "drugless doctors" or naturopaths scored a royal 
victory. Their reports ar nearly 100 per cent, perfect. They 
deserv a high place in heven for their nobl work and un- 
shakabl faith in Mother Nature as their gide. 

Of all the remedies employd, the essential oils hold the 
"grand prize." Just why the essential oils achievd such a 

three hundred forty-eight 



"blue-ribbon" record is a matter of speculation, but this I 
do kno from years of experience — oil of cinnamon, cloves, 
eucalyptus, thyme, pine, etc., exert a profylactic and curativ 
effect in all mucus membrane affections that is truly 
wonderful. 

Some claim it is the oxidizing property the essential oils 
hav on the blood. Others think it is the penetrating and 
"expanding" effect such oils hav on capillaries. Let the 
sages study the stars and the chemists their test tubes and 
retorts for a suitabl anser if they wish, but the results wil 
be the same, namely, that the essential oils ar our best 
remedies for grippe or flu, and as a preventiv they ar 
almost sure. 

Flu Masks 

Those who started the flu mask fad and tried to get it 
into a "legal mesure" deserv punishment. Some of the most 
ardent sponsors for the "mask disgrace" wer like walking 
cadavers thru whose vessels flowd printers' ink and whose 
bodies wer made up of doctord hospital reports and falsified 
statistics. 

I can hardly believ any doctor is so stupid as to believ in 
this outrageous fad. They sought notoriety or some other 
recompense. 

In certain cities they arrested peopl if they appeard on 
the streets without a mask. 

The Berkeley, Cal., Gazette of November 8, 1918, reports 
that a Doctor in a talk at the Greek Theatre at Berkeley 
said to physicians that "The real value of the mask was 
to convince the public that at last it was wholly in the hands 
of the doctor, an object which had been sought for thirty 
years." 

This same doctor came to Los Angeles but the city helth 
offisers and the Board of Medical Advisers refused to adopt 
his mask, and it was reported that he told them the same 
thing — that even if they wer opposed to the mask, it was a 
good idea to force the public to use it so the public would 
get accustomd to obeying the helth offisers and the doctors. 

To cut the fresh air out of an air-starvd person, or to 
reduce the person's resistance by having them breathe their 
own breth over and over again, is a mesure belonging to 

three hundred forty-nine 



witchcraft. The wearing of a dirty mask (and they cer- 
tainly became dirty very soon) added to the fright alredy 
instild into the public. Look up the records and see just 
what an insane notion the mask was. Even in hospital 
wards those who wore the masks took the flu as much as 
those who did not. Insted of meeting the patient with a 
smile, the doctor met them with a mask on. No wonder the 
sick ones died! 

Look up the records. Even with all the record-doctoring 
that some of our hospitals ar gilty of, the flu deth-rate sets 
a new record against "regular" medical efiiciency. 

The Closing-up and Quarantining Fads 

The closing of all places of meeting was one way to 
frighten peopl and keep them looking down to see if the 
erth was to swallo them up. On the face of it, it might 
seem a good thing, but look again. The street cars wer 
packt as usual and saloons wer left open tho scools and 
places of worship wer closed. 

Look at the quarantine ordinances. The victims wer shut 
up like wild animals and their fear magnified until only the 
robust fighters could liv thru it. The doctor could cum 
and go from the quarantined patients, but the patient was 
made to think he was a menace to society — a dangerus out- 
cast. All these mesures and ordinances wer past becaus 
of the false idea that some germ causd the plague and that 
the patient might be a "germ carrier." 

Observations as to the Caus of the Flu 

As alredy explaind, from my Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic 
findings, I am sure that the flu is not a specific germ diseas. 
I mean by that, that no one germ finds its habitat in a 
person having the simptoms calld flu. 

Some hav declared that flu is disseminated by sneezing, 
cofling, etc. At an isolated mine in Arizona the men had 
not been away from the mine for weeks before the flu was 
prevalent, and no one went there and no mail reacht them 
— not even a wire led to the place. Two of the men fel very 
sick with all the simptoms of the flu. The others did not 
hav it. Those two, it was said, had had dispepsia for years. 
"Contact thru lines of travel" surely did not giv these men 
the flu. A lighthouse keeper and his family at a remote 

^hree hundred fifty 



point on Lake Winnipeg wer found sick with the flu when 
the tender arrived. This family had not cum in contact 
with a human being in months. 

In the far north (out of all reach of "flu carriers") the 
population has been sorely stricken with the flu. Surely 
"germ carriers" did not set that fire burning. 

In certain communities some families or members of the 
families had not left the place for the "city" for weeks. 
Neither had "city folks" been to see them. One or two in 
the family wer stricken and the others wer not. Surely 
"germ carriers" did not caus their sickness. 

In certain districts not one person had the flu nor any 
simptoms of it, while in another section of the same city one 
or more in every family had it. In the several districts 
intermingling has gon on as usual. 

In many families one or two of the members wer sick 
with the flu while the others wer not affected. The sick 
ones had had dispepsia or wer big meat eaters. 

In one district I knew of three families, two of which wer 
badly stricken with the flu while the other one did not hav 
a simptom. The family that escaped wer vegetarians and 
careful in dietetics. The others "ate wel to keep wel." 

In one town only two or three families had the flu. I 
lernd that all the "immune" ones took bred of a certain 
baker. This baker was a thinker and had never mixt corn 
in his flour as a substitute for wheat. He said such a mix- 
ture causd indigestion, and neither he nor his family would 
eat corn substitutes, so he made a mixture of rice or other 
flours. He said he knew his customers would not hav 
the flu. 

It has been found that corn has been held for higher 
prices and was then dumpt on the market after it could 
hav undergon many chemical changes. In the corn-eating 
camps in Mexico, the peopl died in great numbers from 
the flu. 

Corn and wheat flour mixt make a very indigestibl loaf. 
One of the directions I always giv my patients is to avoid 
such bred, for eaters of corn bred or corn and wheat bred 
hav dispepsia. 

Every housewife knows that corn and wheat mixt wil make 
a "flat loaf" or "led loaf" as some call it, becaus the dough 

three hundred fifty-one 



wil fall insted of rising. This I think is causd by the very 
activ fermentation in some corn-wheat mixtures. Certain 
kinds or qualities of corn wil not mix wel with wheat. 
Those who eat such bred or crackers hav sour stomacs and 
auto-intoxication, and consequently their resistance is 
reduced. 

In some families I hav lernd that only "the grouch of 
the family" had the flu while the jolly ones did not. 

In a certain perfumery factory not one had the flu. I 
lernd that they wer using essential oils and some very 
"loud" oils, as for exampl that from the civet cat. These 
oils surely changed the air in a peculiar manner. 

In soap factories those who workt in the essential oils 
did not hav the flu. 

In a certain cannery not one had the flu in the depart- 
ments that cand or bottld or handld pimentos. The air in 
those rooms was impregnated with the odor of oil of pimen- 
tos — one of the essential oils that I hav found of great servis 
in preventing and curing grippe and flu. 

One of the modalities I use in treatments, and which I 
teach to physicians, is oxigen-vapor inhalation. Oxigen 
vapor is the ionized air past thru certain oils of the pinus 
and eucaliptus group. The ozone or ionized air cumming 
in contact with the essential oils produces a terpene peroxid. 

What may seem very remarkabl is that not one of the 
many whom I hav treated with oxigen vapor and not one 
of those whom my pupils hav treated in like manner has 
had the flu. 

Oxigen vapor has been proved by laboratory tests to in- 
creas the hemoglobin and thus enhance the resistance of 
the patients. There is no dout about this. 

When the flu scare was becumming acute, some of my 
patients askt me to prepare some essential oils for them 
to send back East to their families or frends. Some pro- 
cured enuf for scores of families. After several weeks, or 
after the "wave" had past, I askt for a report of all cases 
that had used the essential oils. Not one who had taken the 
oils as a preventiv had had the flu, and not one who had 
the flu before recieving the oils but made a rapid recovery 
while using the oils. As these reports wer from all parts 

three hundred fifty-two 



of the cuntry and from several diflFerent news gatherers, 
there must be something to it. 

Some persons sent some of the prepared essential oils to 
their sons in France, and they report that the users did not 
contract the flu tho their comrades on all sides wer stricken 
with it. 

Now, let us classify all these observations. They all point 
in one direction, viz., that the flu is causd by an atmosferic 
condition. All those who wer susceptibl had it in spite of 
isolation or masks. Fear and lowerd resistance from im- 
proper living wer the predominating etiological factors. 

This peculiar atmosferic condition could easily hav been 
causd by the great European war or from the exhalations 
from the millions of persons whose whole nature had been 
"denatured" from thinking about the great struggl and its 
consequences. 

If our great reserch institutions would spend one-fourth 
as much of their energy and mony in trying to find out the 
natural reasons for diseas and the natural methods for pre- 
venting and curing same, as they do in the "germ theory," 
it would not be long before a great light would shine forth 
for the benefit of all mankind. 

I believ from my own observations and those of my col- 
laborators that whatever "germs" ar found with flu (or any 
other diseas) cum to a suitabl soil the same as mosquitos 
find the stagnant water rather than making it stagnant. 

I believ our findings prove that right living (sanitation 
included) and right thinking ar the only real preventivs for 
flu or any other diseas. 

In the seventh edition of my "Lecture Course to Phy- 
sicians and Aids to Humanity Helpers" I hav given much 
space to true statistics and proofs leading up to all our 
findings in this flu calamity. In that book I discuss the 
effects of mind over matter and the eflfects of certain vibra- 
tions over other vibrations — all showing that as we liv so 
shal we reap, and that a world calamity changes all of us 
whether we be near to or far from the sound of guns and 
the cries of the suflFering. 

Every investigator of natural methods knows that serums 
and vaccins hav never prevented any diseas and never can. 
Sanitation and right living and right thinking wil prevent 

three hundred fifty-three 



diseas. Let all thinking peopl ask themselvs why the public 
pres and certain magazines report so much of good as cum- 
ming from serums and vaccins and forget to report the 
damage done by them. Then let them look about and see 
the millions and millions of dollars invested in making these 
vile substances and the fortunes spent in educating the 
peopl to believ in them. 

Let the reading public demand an honest investigation 
made by those not in the medical profession, and let them 
demand that the reports be made public. 

The public pres carries on a sistematic method of scaring 
the peopl. These scares caus untold harm. Cards wer dis- 
playd in the street cars in varius cities reading : 

"If yu hav the flu, call a doctor." 

"Any simptom of a cold or fever indicates flu. Call the 
doctor." 

"The flu is a dangerus diseas. If yu hav any simptoms 
of it, go to bed and call a doctor." 

If this is not degrading, I do not kno what it is. If it is 
not suggestiv pathology, what is it? 

Such doings as this by the "Helth Boards" may fil the 
doctors' pockets with gold now, but look out. The public 
is thinking as never before. Helth Boards and real phy- 
sicians should study sycology and caus and effect. Remem- 
ber that the Huns decievd the nations for years but at last 
they wer "discoverd." If the public does not "discover" the 
methods of Helth Boards now, they ar more stupid than 
I think they ar. 

The next time the flu cums this way (and it surely wil 
cum back), I propose signs like the folloing in all public 
places and in the daily papers. 

"The flu is causd by atmosferic conditions. If yu liv 
and think rightly yu wil not catch it." 

"Right living means right eating as wel as right habits. 
The flu attacks those who do not liv rightly." 

"The flu likes a grouch, a cigaret smoker, a glutton. To 
avoid the flu, smile and liv rightly." 

"A furd tongue indicates a bad stomac. Don't eat for a 
day or two and clean the bowels out with epsom salts. A 
clean, helthy stomac wil prevent the flu." 

"If yu feel feverish or as if a cold wer cumming on, take 

threee hundred fifty-four 



a good dose of salts, and don't eat a thing for two days. 

Just smile and keep the flu away." 

"If yu get the flu, go to bed. Take a good dose of castor 
oil or epsom salts. Eat nothing for two or three days. 
Drink plenty of cool water. Smile and don't worry." 

"The flu wil fly fast from those who laf and fast." 

Now, Fello Physicians, compare the above mottos. 
Which do yu honestly believ would make the public respect 
yu the most? Which would do the more to help humanity? 

Yu might not make as much mony out of the humane 
methods as out of the "official" and Hun methods, but in 
the long run yu would be respected more and your life- 
work would not hav been in vain. 

Summary 

1. The majority of all laboratory findings, as wel as the 
Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic findings prove that the flu is not 
causd by any germs. They also prove that germs found in 
flu cases differ as the condition of the victim differs. 

2. Observations seem to prove that flu is the result of 
an atmosferic or gastric condition and that those whose 
resistance is in any way impaird fall redy victims. 

3. Anything that impairs digestion or increases auto- 
intoxication is a factor in causing flu. 

4. Inoculation with serums or vaccins does not prevent 
nor cure the flu, but on the contrary makes the individual 
more susceptibl to it. 

5. Manufacturers of serums or vaccins or those owning 
stock in such concerns try to keep the "germ theory" before 
the public and hide the real facts. 

6. Fear and worry lower one's resistance, and so make 
the individual an easy prey to flu or any other diseas. 

7. While flu was a fad, everything was diagnosed as flu. 

8. The majority of the "Boards of Helth" hav tried to 
frighten the public and in so doing hav been '^Boards of 
Diseas." 

9. Playing the public may help doctors pay for a new 
automobile this year, but they wil make him sel it next 
year to pay his rent. 

10. Keeping patients cheerful, giving them a dose of 
castor oil or epsom salts, and withholding all food except 

three hundred fifty-five 



orange juice and plenty of cool water during any fever, ar 
the hygienic mesures to folio in all flu cases. 

11. Rest in bed while there is a fever is one of the im- 
portant procedures in treating the flu. 

12. Essential oils, such as cinnamon, cloves, pimento, 
thyme, spearmint, eucaliptus, pine, etc., mixt and given in 
one or two drop doses on sugar or in tablet form every hour, 
ar the best remedies to prevent the flu or to cure it. Podo- 
fyllin should be given while giving the oils so as to keep 
the liver very activ. 

13. Very few flu cases "ran into" bronco-neumonia, but 
on the contrary the case began as bronco-neumonia. For 
bronco-neumonia the essential oils and total abstinence 
from food giv excellent results. Rest in bed for at least 
a week after all fever is gon should be insisted upon in all 
bronco-neumonia cases. 

14. The wearing of masks does more harm than good in 
handling the flu situation. 

15. Any doings that keep the flu in the public mind, such 
as closing up stores, theaters, scools, churches, etc., or 
quarantining victims, does more harm than good. 

16. The flu wil cum to a standstil after the susceptibl 
ones ar kild off or after the peopl hav acquired a suitabl 
resistance. 

17. Right living and right thinking wil "control the flu." 

18. Intoxicating liquors lower resistance and ar therefore 
factors in causing the flu.

DIETETIC BRIEFS 
Senna Prunes for Constipation"^ 

Over 1 oz. senna leavs pour 1 qt. boiling water. 

Let stand 2 hrs. and strain, throwing away the leavs. 

To the clear part ad 1 lb. wel-washt prunes. 

Let soak over nite. 

Cook in the same water over very slo fire, for about 20 min. 
Ad water to make up for what evaporates. (Or it may be 
simmerd down to make a sirup.) 

If water has not been simmerd to a sirup, ad two tabl- 
spoonfuls of hony after water is lukewarm. 

Eat one prune and a littl of the juice after each meal; or 
eat one, two, or three after the evening meal. Graduate the 
amount of prunes and juice according to looseness of bowels. 

Fruit and Nut Paste"^ 

1 lb., or fraction thereof, of each of the f olloing : 

Unsulfurd Black figs (Carque brand). 

Dried Prunes (Carque). 

Dried Dates without sirup (Carque). 

Seedless Raisins (Sun-Maid Seedless, or Carque). 

English Walnut Meats. 

Raw Peanuts if desired. 

(With the walnuts can be added J^ lb. pecans, J^ lb. filberts, 
or j/^ lb. pistachio nuts.) 

Stone prunes, mix all together, and put thru meat chopper 
two or three times. 

This makes a balanst ration and can be eaten daily with 
raw vegetabls such as raw alfalfa leavs and buds, raw lettis, 
raw spinach, raw dandelions, raw cauliflower, raw cabbage, 
raw celery, or any of the raw garden herbs. 

If peanuts (which ar not nuts but ground peas) ar added, 
do not eat with acid fruits. Otherwize it can be eaten with 
any clas of food. 

If one is constipated, ad senna prunes insted of plain prunes. 

If one likes licorice flavor, they can ad an ounce of com-

pound licorice powder for constipation, or two ounces of 
plain licorice powder for flavor. 

Helpful Helthful Hints'^ 

Use no cigarets, tobacco, alcohol or other dopes. 

Use no salt, tea, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, refined sugar, or 
vinegar. 

Hony is a natural sweet if not cookt. 

Never eat acid fruits with starches or sugars. 

Never eat nor drink anything ice-cold. 

As much as possibl, eat only one clas of food at each meal, 
for exampl, citrus fruits for brekf ast and nothing else ; raw 
vegetabls for midday meal and supper selected from the fol- 
loing: Raw lettis, spinach, alfalfa, or red clover leavs and 
buds, dandelion, watercres, parsley, cabbage, carrots, beets, 
turnips, spuds (white potatos), garden mint, fennel, ground 
artichokes, etc. 

Remember one ounce of raw food givs more life and 
energy to the body than eight ounces of the same food cookt. 

Raw, natural food contains the natural salts in natural com- 
bination ("vitamins''), but if cookt in any manner the solubl 
salts ar made insolubl and their natural, life-giving combina- 
tions ar changed into abnormal combinations, which caus 
the sistem to crave more and more abnormal foods. These 
ferment in the stomac or bowels and produce gas. Gas pro- 
duces distention, leading to catar, gastritis, colitis, proctitis, 
constipation, diarrea, auto-intoxication, etc. 

Humans ar the only animals that eat by the clock, eat when 
sick, or drink becaus they ar told to. 

Eat only when hungry. Drink water when thirsty. NEVER 
eat when sick, especially when sick with a fever. Be cheerful! 

My general advice to every patient is to lean toward a 
vegetarian diet — vegetabls, nuts and fruit. 

As a rule, an over-nourisht person requires fruit, while a 
nervus individual requires vegetabls. 

Do not wonder whether this or that wil agree. Forget about 
that while eating. If in dout, do not eat what yu worry about. 

Do not wonder how many "calories" this or that contains. 
It is a "fool method" of feeding a person to hav them figure 

*Taken from the Seventeenth edition of "The Natural Way or 
My Work." 

three hundred fifty-eight 



about "calories." One hundred calories with one person is 
not necessarily the same in value with another. 

As a rule, nearly every one eats too much sugar and bred. 
Many cases of dispepsia can be cured by prohibiting the use 
of bred. Altho bred is known as the staf of life, it wil often 
be the club. 

If yu ar grouchy and out of sorts, don't eat. Food to the 
angry man is a poison. Never be afraid to make a clown of 
yourself at the tabl. Jest and mirth at meal time ar better than 
the best physicians' prescriptions. 

Eat when in a happy mood. If the happy mood can't be 
found, don't eat. 

Don't read while eating. It's a fool's way of "saving time."

LEMON-JUICE HYGIEN FOR THE MOUTH AND 

TEETH* 

The foUoing method not only prevents Pyorrea Alveolaris 
but cures it. 

This method is so simpl that it is ridiculed by many, but it 
is never ridiculed by anyone who has tried it. 

I think this method is original with me altho the use of 
lemon juice or lime juice for preserving the teeth has been 
known by Indians for centuries. 

I kno of persons who hav been using this method for over 
twenty-three years with almost uniformly good results. 

The tecnic is as follows: 
. In the morning as soon as yu arize, take a fresh lemon and 
cut it in two as shown in Fig. 101 of the text. Then squeeze 
the juice of half of the lemon into a glas of cool water (never 
ice water). Mix it and drink it, at the same time gargling so 
as to get the solution on all parts of the mouth and throat. 
Squeeze the other half into another glas of water and drink it. 

Then take one of the half lemon peels as shown in Fig. 101 
of the text and place in it a teaspoonful of cool water. Take 
a tooth-brush and work it up wel in the pulp of the lemon peel. 
Use this to brush the teeth with. Brush them wel, moving the 
brush upward and downward as wel as crosswize. Be thoro 
with this clensing and do not be afraid to get a littl pure lemon 
juice on the teeth. 

Fig. 102 of the text shows two styles of lemon squeezers 
that can be used for squeezing the juice of the lemon. The 
one on the glas is made of aluminum, and the one with the 
dish attacht is of glas. 

After the lemon water has been drunk and the teeth hav 
been thoroly clensd as above outlined, take hold of the tung 
with the fingers of one hand, or with a cloth in the fingers 
as shown in Fig. 103 of the text, and with the other hand rub 
the pulp side of the lemon peel on the upper side of the tung, 
reaching back just as far as possibl. Rub or scrape the tung 
vigorusly, pulling it out just as far as yu can. 

*This is an extract from the chapter on Mouth and Throat Hygien 
in the Seventeenth Edition of "The Natural Way or My Work." 
Anyone who wishes reliabl information regarding the natural, drugless 
method of caring for the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, throat, including 
tonsils and adenoids, is referd to "The Natural Way." 

three hundred sixty 



Then "taste of your mouth" and see how fine it is. I think 
yu wil agree with me that your mouth never tasted so wel 
before. 

There is a reason for every detail given. In the first place 
the lemon juice in the water has a very beneficial effect upon 
the stomac and bowels if taken immediately upon arizing. It 
is one of the greatest aids for overcumming constipation. In 
the second place, brushing the teeth with water workt up in 
the pulp of the lemon peel is the remedy par excellence for 
prventing and curing all forms of pyorrea alveolaris. 

This is not theory. I hav tried it so long and with so many 
peopl and hav cured so many of this stubborn diseas that I am 
redy to giv this method to the profession for the benefit of 
their patients. Loose teeth wil begin to tighten, the slippery 
or "scummy" feeling on the teeth wil soon disappear, and the 
teeth wil becum white. 

In the third place, the drawing of the tung out as far as 
possibl is one of the best remedies for constipation that I 
kno of. 

The same maneuver wil often stop pains in the stomac and 
bowels. 

Thoroly scraping the tung with freshly cut lemon removes 
the "fur" that often collects on the tung of a catarral person, 
and enuf of the elements from this pulp ar carrid back into 
the mouth to hav a very plesant effect upon it. If one hap- 
pens to get up with a bad taste in the mouth, this procedure 
wil rectify the condition. 

By using a lemon as above described for two or three weeks, 
a person wil begin to see a decided change for the better in 
his mouth, stomac and bowels. 

For brushing the teeth after meals, any good tooth powder, 
tooth paste, or plain water wil do. The object in clensing 
the teeth after meals is to remove the particls of food. Many 
use the pulp of a lemon several times a day after they hav 
becum accustomd to it becaus of the pleasant feeling and taste 
it givs to the mouth. 

It does not seem as tho any thinking person could be decievd 
so much as to believ that pepsin can be put into a tooth powder 
and used for brushing the teeth in such a manner that the 
pepsin wil "digest the albuminus coating on the teeth." It 
takes some time for pepsin to digest albumin. Such tooth 

three hundred sixty-one 



powders, as a rule, contain some gritty substances that pol- 
ishes the "film" off the teeth. 

If one use the pulp of a lemon as above described, they wil 
hav no occasion to look for any kind of tooth powder or 
tooth wash to take the "slippery feel" off the enamel. 

For cleaning between the teeth, probably dental flos is the 
best — perhaps the old-fashiond quil is better. However, the 
quil wil not reach certain places that the dental flos wil. 

In having the teeth fild, do not hav mercury used, becaus 
it often has a very deleterius effect upon the sistem. I hav 
seen some cases of salivation causd by mercury fillings. 

Do not hav different kinds of metal side by side in the teeth. 

I hav had some patients who complaind continually of a 
peculiar taste in the mouth that I was abl to trace to a gal- 
vanic action of two different kinds of metal in the filling of 
the teeth. 

If a person has lost one tooth, the tooth opposit is of no 
use in mastication unless another tooth is put in the place of 
the lost one. 

Keep your own teeth just as long as yu possibly can. They 
ar far superior to any artificial ones. 

Time and again a patient cums in for diagnosis and I see 
they hav false teeth, altho they may not be over twenty-five 
years of age. The old story is repeated so often that we kno 
it by hart — "My physician advized the extraction of my 
teeth to see if it would benefit my general condition." This 
is a terribl blot upon the( knoledge of the physician.

VIVISECTION, THE t/AT-NATURAL WAY 

Just at this time throut the world, to torture or not to 
torture, to vivisect or not to vivisect, to be human or inhuman, 
to be humane or brutal, to be constructiv or destructiv, to 
make or destroy, ar topics discust in nearly every periodical. 

I often reciev letters from humanity helpers as to how I 
stand on the subject of vivisection. I am often askt to speak 
in the interests of the antivivisection societies. My time is 
so occupied that I cannot go out on speaking tours, but I 
believ "the pen is mightier than the sword" and I can at 
least rite. 

If every honest investigator would keep one salient fact 
in mind, there would be no vivisection. That fundamental 
truth is the caracter of organism determins the car act er of 
function. 

The functioning of lower animals is not the same as the 
functioning of humans. Most investigators forget the effect 
of mind over matter, and the torturing of animals becums to 
them an exciting art. 

The majority of peopl ar born with a kindly feeling toward 
animals, and I believ it is from thotlessness that they becum 
cruel Httl by littl. 

The love for torture begins very often in the scoolroom 
where yung, sensitiv children ar taut to torture frogs, rabbits, 
guinea pigs, rats, mice, etc. Even the witnessing of struggling 
flies on fly paper is often a spark that kindls the fire of torture. 

No good has ever been derived from the torture of animals 



three hundred sixty-three 



or insects, and no good ever can be derived from such a 
practis. It is unnatural and inhuman. 

In the olden itme the clergy and the physician wer lookt 
upon as leaders to better thots and deeds, but that day has 
changed, either thru commerciahsm or thru a growing tend- 
ency toward brutality. It is rare to read in the papers ser- 
mons on kindness toward animals ritten by either the clergy 
or the medical fraternity. 

There is a reason for all this, and that reason lies hidden 
from most of the peopl. That great reason is commercialism. 
At the present time millions upon millions of dollars ar in- 
vested in institutions where the torturing of animals has been 
brot to a stage that the foulest demons of mithology did not 
outdo. 

The only excuse that the so-calld "sientific" torturers can 
giv is that wer it not for vivisection the vaccins and serums 
could not hav been developt. This is the worst that could 
strike vivisection, becaus in reality no good has ever been 
derived from vaccins or serums — and never can he. In fact, 
when the grand summing up is made in the years to cum 
serumization and vaccination wil be lookt upon as one of 
the darkest blots in the history of so-calld civilization. 

Sanitation and hygien prevent diseas. Never can the pollut- 
ing of a helthy body with diseasd, putrid matter from a tor- 
tured animal do anything but injure the one into whom it 
is put. 

Rong teaching and nefarius propaganda work hav made 
many physicians honestly believ that they ar doing the right 
thing when they put into the blood stream diseasd material. 
In time education wil rectify this, but in the meantime the 
helth of generations wil be undermined. 

Probably vaccination and serumization is today responsibl 
for the majority of all ils. Proper sanitation and hygien would 
prevent all this. If medical statistics wer only compiled by 
those who make statistics a specialty or by those who wer 
not interested in vaccination and serumization, anyone who 
used serums or vaccins would be ostracised from decent 
society, but the trubl is that falsified records ar constantly 
compiled, and the hundreds of millions of dollars back of the 
manufacturer of serums and vaccins keeps propaganda going 

three hundred sixty-four 



to deciev the peopl, to say nothing about the medical 
profession. 

I kno of one manufacturer of serums and vaccins that pays 
at least one man right in my own community a thousand 
dollars a month to induce physicians to use their serums and 
vaccins. This same concern hires the shrewdest medical riters 
to be obtaind to keep articls before the medical profession 
and the laity regarding the benefits derived from vaccins and 
serums. 

It was only a few days ago that one of the largest users 
of vaccins and serums in this city told me that he had never 
seen any good results cum from the use of serums and vac- 
cins, but that the peopl wer educated to believ that they wer 
good and there was too much mony in it for him to try to 
educate them to the contrary, and as long as he could get from 
two to ten dollars a "shot" he was going to use them. 

Another large user of serums and vaccins told me that he 
got as high as $100.00 for a singl injection of some serums 
that he knew "wer not worth a damn." 

Some wil say that these persons ar exceptions to the rule, 
but I am in a position to kno that they ar not. Commercialism 
is back of all the propaganda work, including teaching, for 
serums and vaccins. 

To giv an idea as to the fear that even booksellers hav of 
offending political medicin, demogs, or mercenary medical 
charlatans traveling under the name of benefactors who ar 
teachers in some of our largest medical institutions, I wil 
cite just one instance. 

When I began the riting of my last two books, a dealer 
told me that he would take several hundred copies if I would 
say nothing against serums, vaccins, vivisection, or political 
medicin. He said his business was selling books, and altho 
he thot he believd as I did regarding these subjects, yet he 
said he was afraid his business would be injured if it became 
known that he was handling books that "hit the pocketbook" 
of the physician. 

I told him I would say what I wisht to say regarding the 
matter, even if I had to giv every book away. Now, one 
year later, a representativ of that concern has been to see me 
and said they had changed' their mind, becaus the trend of 
public opinion was toward the drugless physician, and that 

three hundred sixty- five 




he would like to place an order with me for a large number 
of my books. 

This is only a fair exampl as to the way peoprs opinions 

change, not becaus of the merit of the subject but becaus of 

the dollar. 

We often see in print that all vivisection is done on animals 

that hav been anesthetized and they do not suffer. / wish I 

could make everyone 
understand that this is 
a lie. In the first place 
no normal reactions can 
take place in an animal 
that is under anesthesia, 
and in the next place no 
normal reactions can 
take place in an animal 
that is suffering pain. 
^^S"^^ ^ Therefore, no matter 

what is said to the contrary, there can be no true findings 

obtaind from vivisection. 

The general idea among 
vivisectors is that anesthesia 
is detrimental to their find- 
ings. ' Therefore nine-tenths 
of all vivisection is done on 
animals without any anesthe- 
sia. I am not taking this from 
hearsay. I hav seen animals 
put into machines like that 
shown in Fig. A and hav seen 
them tortured to deth, and I 
hav seen and herd the tortur- 
ers laf and joke over the dy- 
ing agonies of animals so 
tortured. 

No good whatever can ever be derived from such torturing. 
The men do it for the same reason that a pervert cuts up 
his mistress to see her rithe in agony — it givs a fiendish 
exhilaration that these perverts seek. 

Fig. B illustrates an oven into which some of these horribl 




Figure B 



three hundred sixty-six 




Figure C 



fiends place dogs, cats and other animals to be burnd alive 
so they can see the animal rithing in the agonies of deth. 

All professed vivisectors ar perverts or monomaniacs — 
either horn that way or degenerated into that condition. 

Fig. C is partly sketcht from 
an actual scene in one of the 
large drug manufacturing places 
in the United States. It repre- 
sents a method of producing 
"pure gastric juice" from dogs 
that hav been mutilated so that 
when food is given them it falls 
out of a hole cut in their throats, 
and the stimulation of the food 
occasions a very large secretion 
of gastric juice which is caut 
from a hole in their stomacs and 
is carrid to receptacls and then 
filterd and sold to the unsus- 
pecting public. This method of making gastric juice is so 
cheap, I am told, that many manufacturers ar going into it. 
This is just one instance where the torturing of animals 
is put into commercial use. 

The manufacture of smallpox vaccin is done under almost 
as much torture as that shown in Fig. C. Altho political 
doctors kno this, yet they deliberately try to put laws into 
effect that would make yu or me put this product into the 
pure blood stream of our littl ones. 

Only a perverted mind can reason in favor of this becaus 
there ar enuf statistics at the present time to prove that vac- 
cination or serumization has never done any good and has 
done nothing but harm. 

Right here I want to again call attention to the book eiltitld, 
''The Horrors of Vaccination Exposed and Illustrated" by 
Charles M. Higgins of Brooklyn, New York. Many similar 
books hav been printed and sold by the thousands, and that 
is one reason why public opinion is beginning to turn — the 
public is beginning to kno the truth, and cannot be camou- 
flaged by commercial doctors or animal torturers much longer.

Fig. D represents a scene that I once witnest in the New 
York harbor. The son of one of the vivisectors in one of the 
largest vivisection institutions in the world fel into the water 
and would hav drownd if a dog had not jumpt in and saved 
him. I am sorry to say that even this nobl act did not 
convert the yung man's father.

California is one of the states that is waging a fight against 
vivisection, which wil be won in time. 

The folloing is a letter that I rote last April to Mr. R. R. 
Logan, president of the Anti- Vivisection Society of Phila- 
delphia, editor of The Starry Cross, an antivivisection journal 
publisht in Philadelphia, Pa. This articl was copied in the 
Los Angeles Times, June 13, 1920. 

"Dear Mr. Logan: 

I askt a doctor the other day if he had signd the anti- 
vivisection petition. He said he hadn't and didn't think he 
would, for vivisection had done too much for man, and a few 
guinea pigs and cats and dogs didn't matter in comparison 
with the benefits which sience had derived from experiments 
upon animals. 

I askt him if he could name a singl benefit derived from 
vivsection, and he anserd, "diftheria anti-toxin." I told him 



three hundred sixfy-eight 



to use common sense and look into the matter for himself 
and he would find there wer more deths from diftheria today 
than in the days before anti-toxin was introduced. I told him 
that in New York State, while there ar only five deths a year 
from smallpox in twelv million population, there ar over thirty 
known deths a year from vaccination and thousands of persons 
injured irreparably besides. 

The ordinary physician isn't a bad fello. He just doesn't 
think for himself any more than this doctor I was talking to. 
The worst of it is the vivisectors corrupt and pervert the 
yung fellows (the students) until they ar hardend. I kno 
how it is, as I hav been thru the mil myself. I hav seen the 
students shrink at first from the horrors they wer forst to 
witness and then gradually gro used to them and becum 
callust and indifferent to the sufferings of the animals. 

I shal never forget the first cat I saw tortured. It was a 
beautiful pet angora with a ribbon round its neck holding 
a bel. A littl boy had brot it to the laboratory and I said to 
him, "Where did yu get the cat, sonny?" **0h, I got it," 
he said. "But where?" *T got it over in somebody's yard." 
And he la ft and jingld the fifty cents the doctor had given 
him. Shortly after I saw the same beautiful cat in the lab- 
oratory naild down to a board with nails clampt over its paws, 
and a lot of students wer gaping at it. Several of them blew 
cigaret smoke in its face to see how much it would take to 
make it sick. 

I hav seen splendid dogs, too, big collies, naild down or 
strapt down, and cut to pieces. I remember one fine big 
fello fastend down and cut wide open. They had a "fish 
hook" in his hart, attacht by a string to a recording drum. 
I said to the professor, "What do yu do this for? Don't 
yu kno that if an animal suffers his hart wil not beat normal- 
ly?" He said, "Ar yu here to teach?" I said, "No, but I 
hav feelings." "Get out," he said, "if yu don't like it." 

There is no help for the students. They just hav to get 
used to it and hardend, and, as for the leading vivisectors, they 
ar not human at all. They ar fiends obsest by the lust of 
killing and torturing. 

Recently a medical major of the army was in my offis. 
After he had made sure that no one else was in hearing 
distance, he said that he wanted to tel me something but 

three hundred sixty-nine 



that he would be courtmartiald if his name wer used. He said 
that he used to think that I was biast in my opinions regarding 
vivisection and serums and vaccins, but that his experience 
in the World War had taut him that vivisection made brutes 
of the yung doctors as wel as the older ones. He said a great 
many of them just delited in torturing the sick soldiers. 
He said he had been thru "hel fire," but the lack of feelings 
and simpathv shown by the majority of doctors palld on his 
mind more than anything else. As for the serums and vaccins 
used in the army, he said he considerd that they did only 
harm and that there must be some ''nigger in the wood pile" 
or they would never be used. He said he had seen thousands 
made sick from their use and a great many kild by them, 
but never had he seen a singl instance where they did any 
good. Sanitation, he said, was the real preventativ of diseas. 



I do not believ it is generally understood that human beings 
ar being used in vivisection work, but such is a fact. It is 
only a step from the torturing of animals to the torturing 
of the insane, the poor, and the defenceless child. Branches 
of one of the largest animal-torturing institutions in the world 
ar now being establisht in foren cuntries where they can hav 
more access to human beings and where the los of a few 
thousand lives wil never be questiond. A fiend or pervert 
is always seeking new fields for gratifying his inhuman 
instincts or desires. 



The folloing ar extracts from a few of my letters ritten to 
campaign managers of the anti-vivisection movement in 
California. ' 

When a yung man goes into the regular orthodox medical 
college, he is first put at dissecting a ded human being' — a 
cadaver. These cadavers ar gotten from the morgues or from 
the county hospitals, and ar the unfortunates who ar not 
claimd by any relativ or frends. 

After the medical student is traind in this dissection, which 
of course is beneficial, if carrid on in the right manner, he is 
taken to the vivisection room and taut to torture animals. 
If any object to seeing animals tortured, they ar just as sure 
to be conditiond in one of the minor or major subjects as the 
sun rizes. They ar immediately spotted and everything is put 

three hundred seventy 



in their way to keep them from getting thru. In other words, 
no student is intentionally allowd to graduate and reciev his 
degree of M.D. that wil not stand for the torturing of animals 
without saying a word. 

Then cums the experimental work in the free clinics. The 
free clinics ar supposed to be run by the institutions for the 
good of humanity, but on the contrary they ar run to giv 
a medical student practis, and for the regular physicians to 
also experiment on. Most of this experimentation cums from 
the morbid desire to see how much pain a person can stand, 
or what effect some dope or some new preparation in the way 
of a drug wil hav. 

There ar new "remedies'* being exploited all the time, and 
free clinical material is what physicians want to test these 
different things out on. It is not that we haven't in Nature's 
great storehouse enuf of everything to treat any human being, 
or other animal with, but it is commercialism that is back of 
the exploiting of many claptrap devices and combinations of 
drugs that urges the doctor to try out his drugs on some 
"clinical material." 

Some years ago I witnest an operation done by one of the 
most celebrated eastern surgeons. This operation was not 
at all necessary, but he told a frend of mine that he was going 
to "make a case" so that he could try out a certain anesthetic. 
It was arranged that one of the interns in the hospital should 
tel a "free patient" that a certain abdominal operation was 
necessary. This the intern did, the operation was performd 
with a great deal of ceremony before a lot of visiting doctors, 
and the operation was "a great success" and great aplaus was 
given the operator. However, the victim died before morning. 
The result was never given out, but I askt a nurse about it^ 
saying that I had a premonition that the patient died before 
she came out of the anesthetic. The nurse said that she did, 
but said she was not to tel or she would be expeld. 

At another "free clinic" I saw a wel-known nose and 
throat specialist in New York City "make a case" for exhib- 
ition by operating on a poor girl's tonsils. This girl's tonsils 
wer alright, but the case was a trumpt up one becaus the 
surgeon wanted to sho at some meeting a tecnic that was his 
hobby. The operation was performd, blood-poisoning set in, 
and the girl died. 

three hundred seventy-one 



Only a few years ago I knew of over twenty cases of 
children of poor families having their eyes operated on for 
a certain test. Their eyes wer alright, but the parents wer 
frightend into having the test made, and these children had 
an experimental inoculation in their eyes. I was told that 
seven of these children ar blind and the parents ar taking 
care of them the best they can as there wer no funds allowd 
the institution to take care of those that they cripld for life 
or to bury those that they kild by their experiments. 

A few years ago one of the best surgeons in New York 
City told me that if I wanted to test out some of my reflexes 
on a living body that was open, he would "make a case" so 
the victim would cum out of the anesthetic while the abdomen 
was open and I could make the experiment, and they would 
giv more ether and sew her up. This surgeon said this as he 
thot to benefit me, but I told him what I thot about it. He 
laft and said that I was a "tenderfoot." This shows how 
hardend they becum. 

It is no uncommon thing at our big surgical conventions 
in the east to hav case after case made up just to sho off 
some special tecnic in operations. The way these cases ar 
made up is to hav the intern in some of these clinics tel the 
victims that they hav a certain complaint and nothing wil 
save them except an operation, and that they wil arrange 
with the operator to do the work free of charge just becaus 
of their simpathy for them. Scores of these cases ar wel 
peopl, and that is the reason the cases ar made up, so the 
operation can be done for experimental purposes and demon- 
stration. 

It is no uncommon thing for surgeons in clinics to let a 
patient cum nearly or entirely out of the ether in order that 
a certain reaction can be examind while the body is opend. 
If the patient dies, it is a case of "hart failure" and is spoken 
of as "another has flown." 

I could go on and quote cases like this by the hundred that 
hav cum under my own observation, and any physician who 
has been thru the mil could tel the same if he dared. 

A few years ago an army surgeon owed me a few hundred 
dollars. I called on him to collect same. He told me he was 
"temporarily broke," but he would soon be "flush," as he 
had arranged with an intern in a large hospital to frighten 

three hundred seventy-two 



a few "wel-to-do" patients into an operation and then direct 
them to him on a ''fifty-fifty" basis. 

It was only within the last three years that one of the 
best known surgeons in New York City in a public meeting 
of surgeons made a declaration in the following terms : Now 
that the public has been educated to the point of believing that 
nothing can be done for cancer except to hav it cut out, let 
us instruct all physicians to call every lump a cancer and then 
there wil be no hesitancy on the part of the patient to hav the 
operation done. 

Anyone who keeps track of the so-calld orthodox medical 
literature of today wil kno that the whole trend is as this 
surgeon instructed. 

Only a few years ago a doctor in New York City wanted 
to experiment with some radium and he arranged with a 
surgeon of nation-wide reputation to do the operation, and the 
novis was to plant the radium in the liver. This was to be 
done so that the effects on the sistem could be studied, altho 
there was nothing the matter with the patient to call for such 
a hazardus operation. A reporter was engaged and a ful 
report was ritten by the would-be radium specialist and signd 
by the surgeon^ and handed to the reporter for him to fix up in 
reporting style. 

This articl was put in one of the largest dailies in New 
York City and took up between two and three colums, telling 
of the wonderful results foUoing the implantation of radium 
in a person's liver for the cure of cancer or anything else. 
The patient was ded the morning the articl came out. 

Similar occurences hav taken place in some of the largest 
radium-boosting institutions in America as the result of the 
wide publicity given to this novis in radium. He was haild 
as a famus specialist with radium and the business that was 
sent to him made him rich enuf to own a great deal of valuabl 
real estate, within a short time. He retird and took only such 
"big" work as brot in enormus fees. 

Within the last three years I askt a wel-known radium 
specialist if he could tel me just what radium was good for 
in the treatment of diseas. He told me that he would tel me 

confidentially that he did not think it was worth a d for 

anything except skin cancers. I then askt him if there wer 
not plenty of modalities for curing skin cancers other than 

three hundred seventy-three 



radium, and he said there wer, but radium brot the most 
mony. I askt him why he was exploiting radium in a certain 
institution for the treatment of all sorts of ils, and he told 
me that it was becaus thru printers' ink the public had becum 
hipnotized with the idea that radium was a cure-all and 
therefore demanded it, and he saw no easier way to make a 
lot of mony than to get a thousand dollars' worth of radium 
and hav it publisht that he had one hundred thousand dollars' 
worth and get a thousand dollars for a treatment without any 
risk of the radium ever wearing out. 

He told me that if I wanted to get rich fast I should use 
radium, and the newspapers would giv me publicity. 

I hope the above few cases wil prove to your satisfaction 
that the training given yung men in our modem medical 
colleges is the basest of the base, and is so degraded that it 
takes only the strong to cum out without being ruind. The 
tactics in these medical institutions ar such that if a student 
makes the least protest, he is immediately conditiond so as to 
discourage him from trying to go on with his work. In other 
words, the professors and instructors in our large medical 
colleges do not want anyone to possess the degree of M.D. 
unless they ar just as bad as they themselvs ar. 

Within the last six months a nurse in training in one of our 
hospitals in Los Angeles was expeld becaus she employd for 
her private physician an osteopath. It was on the under- 
standing that I would not tel the name of the hospital nor 
the name of the nurse that I was informd of this fact. 



The folloing is a copy of a letter ritten by me to the editor 
of "The-Care-of-the-Body" department of the Los Angeles 
Sunday Times and was publisht in that magazine June 25, 
1920. 

An Army Surgeon's Experience. 

Nite before last a physician army offiser calld in to see me. 
He showd me his credentials, showing that he was a member 
of the A.M.A. and had been for twenty-five years. He was a 
graduate of the Johns Hopkins University, and said he had 
been in the government servis ever since he was graduated. 
He said the only treatment he had ever recievd was at the 
hands of the government employd physicians. 

three hundred seventy-four 



During the war he was in the servis overseas, and in times 
of ''peace" he was stationd wherever the government sent him. 
He is a total fisical wreck, and I think beyond human aid. 

He said he knew of my work and had known of it for years, 
but hke many others of his own cUque, he had scornd it until 
he saw that everything the organized medical staf did workt 
^or il rather than good in his behalf. 

He said he lernd nothing about dietetics in college, and 
had never met a government physician who knew anything 
about dietetics. He said the general advice given by all gov- 
ernment physicians is, "Eat anything yu pleas, only don't eat 
too much." 

He said that he wanted to meet me and shake my hand 
and tel me how thankful he was that there was someone who 
was not afraid to let the peopl kno that the care of hogs 
was being taut more to physicians than the care of humans 
in our government institutions. He said he knew he must soon 
die, and so was not interested much more, except to let advanst 
thinkers kno that the average government physician is of the 
lowest order among "educated" peopl. 

He said that the only remedies that he knew anything 
about from his years of experience in the servis wer mercury, 
quinin, arsenic and iron, serums and vaccins, and every type 
of surgery, which he said he had begun to think was simply 
butchery. He said his own confreres wanted him to be cut 
to pieces, but he had seen so many butcherd by them that he 
made up his mind to die as he was — with a prostate all 
puncht to pieces by passing metal catheters thru, and a stomac 
so dilated that he is not abl to take solid food, and a bladder so 
inflamed that he cannot hold his urin and has to wear a 
receptacl all the time. 

He said he would be courtmarshald and die behind prison 
bars if it wer known what he told me, but as he was soon 
going to die anyway he was determind to giv me this 
information as he past thru Los Angeles. 

I told him he might be abl to do something for himself yet, 
if he would change his methods of diet, and perhaps he wil 
recover more than he now thinks he wil. He is about fifty 
years old and looks eighty.

CRUELTY OF VIVISECTION 



Grafic Portrayal of Its Horrors in the Ladies' Home Journal 
By Albert Payson Terhune 



The Tramp Dog. 

Yes, he is an outcast. He must Hv by his wits or he must 
stop Hving. The garbage pail in cities, and the garbage heap 
in the cuntry afford his most sumptuous and most nearly 
lawful meals. The least shelterless side of shed or allyway 
is his sole protection from storm and chil. 

He has no human f rends. In towns he provides the chief 
incum for the pound-keeper. In the cuntry he is the horribl 
exampl of editorial and legislativ thunders against "predatory 
dogs." Not once in fifty times does the Tramp Dog set out 
to be a tramp. But it is that or starv. And, unlike us worthy 
humans, he would rather liv by doutful methods than die. 

He was once the mongrel pup given to some mauling child 
as a pet, a child who tired of him and kickt him out as soon 
as his fluffy body began to lose its baby prettiness. Or he was 
the house mongrel of some family that moved away and left 
him to shift for himself. Or he was one of a crossbreed, 
chance litter whose mother's owner was too kind-harted to 
drown the unwanted pups in first infancy, and who let them 
gro up as homeless wanderers. 

Nobody wants him. From puppyhood he has lemd to forage 
for himself. His lot is tragic. His end is certain. If the dog- 
catcher's net or the motor car's whizzing wheels mis him, 
he must take his chance in one or more asinine *'mad dog" 
scares or fall victim to some hencoop-ravaged farmer's poisond 
meat or shotgun. 

If these fail to land him, there is always the vivisectionist 
ready and eager to pay for him. More Than Eight Hundred

It Was — and Is — So in Nearly Every City. 

The capturd Tramp Dogs ar hung up with spikes in them; 
their Hps ar sewd together to muffl their screams; and they 
ar otherwize torturd; while grave-eyed sientists take copius 
notes on the effect of varius forms of agony upon the victims' 
harts and nerv centers. 

A^d the same thing is going on, all over the world, in spite 
of the eager and logical protests of the majority of normal 
men and women, men and women whose protests ar gided 
by something better than maudlin sentiment. — Ladies' Home

ANOTHER BARNACL 
ON THE WHEEL OF PROGRESS 

Worse Than the Black Plague. 

The procedures carrid out by political organized depart- 
ments of "helth" thruout our "land of the free" ar outlined 
in the folloing extracts taken from a weekly bulletin (as of 
Oct. 9, 1920) of the department of helth of one of the largest 
and supposedly one of the most cultured states in the United 
States. In this same state more deths occur yearly from 
vaccination than from smallpox. 

I profesy that becaus of the advancement in public opinion 
within a few years such orders or recommendations as ar here 
cited wil be clast with the most barbaric doings of a 
cannibalistic island. 

It does not seem credibl that any educated body of persons 
can be so selfish and commercialized as to attempt to deciev 
the public in this manner. If anyone thru lack of education 
or from an ignorant fetishism wishes to hav their own bodies 
mutilated, that is one thing, but to attempt by means of the 
law to mutilate and fil with putrid diseasd matter the bodies 
of defenseless children is almost beyond the understanding 
of the worst yeggman. 

As I hav often said, if any physician believs that vaccination 
wil prevent smallpox, they may vaccinate themselvs, the more 
the better, for they wil just so much sooner die off, but they 
should let other peopl alone. They need not be afraid of what 
the other fello may hav, but they insist upon others going 
thru the same barbaric rite. Of course nothing but com- 
mercialism can be back of all such movements. Education, 
however, wil right all this in time the same as it did the burn- 
ing of witches, the bleeding of peopl for all manner of dis- 
eases, or the withholding of water from those dying from 
thirst — all of which wer once sanctiond by the so-calld 
"orthodox men of sience." 

(Remember that "medical inspectors" must be as deep in 
the mire of political medicin as the department of "helth" 
(disease) that appoints them. Their real motiv is to create 
fear and caus diseas. If they don't they wil lose their job. 

"Program agreed to by the Department of Education, the 
Department of Helth, and the Catholic Scool Board as to 

three hundred eighty 



the procedure relativ to vaccination of children in the public 
and parochial scools of . 

"In accordance with the law of the State of , it 

is the duty of the educational authorities to see that no child 
enters scool until it has been vaccinated, and for the Depart- 
ment of Helth to provide the necessary facilities for such 
vaccination. 

"In order that this procedure may be carrid out in a uniform 
manner in the varius public and parochial scools, it has been 
agreed between the respectiv educational authorities and the 
Department of Helth that the foUoing plan shal be effectiv: 

1. That children entering scool for the first time shal be 
required to submit to the principl of the scool one of the 
folloing 

(a) A certificate from a physician that the child has been 
vaccinated. 

(b) Evidence of successful vaccination. 

2. That in cases where children present certificates' of vaccin- 
ation but sho no evidence of successful vaccination, the 
matter should be referd to the medical inspector of the 
scool for his opinion as to the proper procedure. In every 
such case the medical inspector should cooperate with the 
scool authorities in seeing that the child is successfully 
vaccinated. 

3. When a child presents a certificate stating that it would be 
injurius to its helth to be vaccinated, the certificate in 
question should be referd to the medical inspector of the 
scool for decision as to whether or not it should be accepted. 

4. In the erly part of this scool term the medical inspector or 
nurse wil make a routine inspection of the children in the 
clasrooms to determin whether or not they hav been 
vaccinated. In all instances where no evidence of vaccin- 
ation can be shown, the principals and teachers should co- 
operate with the medical inspector and nurse in obtaining 
vaccination for the child at the erliest possibl opportunity. 
Cooperation should also be afforded by the principals and 
teachers to the medical inspector and nurse in obtaining 
revaccination for children who hav not been successfully 
vaccinated within a period of four years."

VACCINATION A PRODUCT OF FANATICISM 

I believ all my readers kno how deeply I feel regarding 
the superstitious idea of vaccination. To my mind vaccination 
belongs to the same fanaticism as the burning of witches, 
and it is with gratification that I see the growing sentiment 
against this horribl practis. 

I believ the time is not far distant when laws wil be past 
that wil make it a crime to put putrid, diseasd material into 
the blood stream of a human being, especially if that person 
be a minor. 

I kno many physicians who, becaus of the way they ar taut, 
hav not lookt into this subject, but hav taken it for granted 
that what they wer taut in colleges must be true. Therefore I 
try to hav charity even for murderers. 

The Seventh Edition of my Lecture Course to Physicians 
givs a mas of indisputabl evidence against vaccination. 

Mr. Charles M. Higgins has collected substantiated facts 
and has gotten out a book entitld, "The Horrors of Vaccina- 
tion." If anyone is the least inclined to believ in vaccination 
and is not posted regarding the horrors connected with it as 
wel as the commercial and political status it occupies, they 
should get Mr. Higgins' book.* 

No one is so blind as he who wil not see when he has an 
opportunity to see. 

Mr. Higgins sums up as follows: 

"To sum up briefly, I think it may now be seen that several 
cardinal points against the evils of compulsory vaccination 
hav been proved by impregnabl legal, medical and historical 
facts and out of the mouth of high authorities on vaccination. 
These cardinal points may be stated in seven numbers as 
follows : 

First: The illegality and unconstitutionaUty of all com- 
pulsory vaccination and its gross violation of Medical Free- 
dom and Bodily Sanctity, which ar unalienabl American rights 
equal with Religious Freedom. 

*This book can be obtaind of Mr. Charles M. Higgins, 271 Ninth 
St., Brooklyn, N. Y., or from The Truth Teller, Battle Creek, Mich., 
or from The American Medical Liberty League, 64 E. Van Buren St., 
Chicago, 111. Price, in paper cover, prepaid, $1.00. 

three hundred eighty-two 



Second: The medical barbarism and malpractis of all 
compulsory diseas as being opposed to all true standards of 
medical ethics and logic. 

Third: The poor protectiv power of vaccination, which 
givs no immunity from smallpox except for short periods of 
a few months or a year and requires frequent repetition, 
which is obviusly ineffectiv as a protection and dangerus 
as a remedy. 

Fourth: That sanitation, isolation and hygien hav been 
and ar the chief means of preventing and suppressing small- 
pox epidemics independent of vaccination. 

Fifth: That vaccination is very dangerus to helth and 
life, causes epidemics in animals and mankind, and is often- 
times more fatal than smallpox, and now causes more deths 
than smallpox. 

Sixth: That vaccinating doctors and helth officials most 
shamefully deny and conceal injuries and deths from vaccin- 
ation, and falsify our vital statistics accordingly. 

Seventh: That the practis of inflicting on the human body 
a compulsory medical diseas, which is dangerus to helth and 
life and causes many deths every year, is obviusly illegal and 
a medical crime on the peopl which must be supprest. ^ 

Conclusion ^^ | 

As soon, therefore, as this crushing fact of the great danger 
of vaccination to human helth and life enters the mind and 
conscience of the mas of the peopl, and is fully graspt by 
the legislativ, the judicial and the executiv minds of the 
cuntry — from whom it has been so long conceald by medical 
falsehood in high places — this enlightenment wil, I firmly be- 
liev, result in the permanent abolishment of all compulsory 
vaccination, if not in the penal prohibition of general vaccin- 
ation, as being now more dangerus than natural. smallpox; and 
to that great fact and to this final and profetic thot, I ask your 
careful attention in closing this exposure of vaccination 
horrors and medical mendacities."

HORSES USED FOR DIFTHERIA ANTITOXIN 



By Walter R. Hadwen, M.D., 
In the Abolitionist, London, September, 1919. 



How Antitoxin Is Made. 

The method of manufacture of Diftheria Antitoxin 
furnishes a classical exampl of the manufacture of all serums 
used in the modern cult of serum therapy, whether of anti- 
plague serum, anti-tetanus serum, Sclavo's anthrax serum, 
anti-snake-venom serum, anti-neumococcic serum, anti-menin- 
gitis serum, etc., etc. In most of the preparations a horse is 
used as the medium for obtaining the serum, etc. but for the 
preparation of anthrax serum Sclavo uses a donky and for 
that of anti-plague serum Haflfkine usually uses a goat. 

Cultivating the Germs. 

A portion of the membranus excretion which appears upon 
the throat of a patient suffering from diftheria is first ex- 
tracted therefrom. It is necessary that it should contain the 
diftheria bacillus, for many diftheritic throats contain no 
diftheria bacillus at all. This excretion is then transferd to a 
special beef broth, which is kept at a certain even temperature 
in an incubator for ten to fourteen days, until the germs 
multiply millions- fold and the beef broth becums alive with 
them. It is recommended that the meat which is used for 
making the broth should be kept for some days until incipient 
putrefaction has taken place. The broth is then filterd, and the 
filtrate is employd for injecting into horses. At first only a 
few drops ar injected under the skin. The injections ar admin- 
isterd twice a week in gradually increasing doses for a period 
of five or six months until the dose ultimately reaches as 
much as a pint to a pint and a half. 

Effect of the Poison. 

At first injections giv rize to a considerabl constitutional 
disturbance — as might be expected in such a blood-poisoning 
process. The animal's temperature rizes, it goes off its food, 

three hundred eighty-four 



it may hav diarrea and shivering fits, etc., but the injections 
ar continued until the animal — if it does not succumb • — 
ceases to react. It is then said to be "immune," and its blood 
is supposed to contain an anti-toxin capabl of neutralizing 
the toxin (i, e., poison) of diftheria. The bleeding process 
then begins, :usually on the third day after the last injection 
of the poisond beef broth. 

Drawing Off the Serum. 

The animal's hed is firmly secured; if at all refractory a 
cruel instrument calld a twitch is fixt on the upper lip, and a 
long sharp-pointed tube is driven into the horse's neck over 
a large blood vessel, and two or three gallons of blood ar 
drawn off into a receptacl. This process is repeated from time 
to time until the animal is exhausted, or is sold or dies. The 
blood coagulates and the clear fluid which rizes to the surface 
— calld serum — is then put into tubes and sold at fancy 
prices under the name of ''diftheria antitoxin." 

How the Horse Suffers. 

And what about the horses? These continual injections of 
poisonus matter and los of blood hav been found to produce 
amyloid diseas. The organs may becum so friabl that they 
literally break to pieces, and deth is apt to occur from spon- 
taneus rupture and hemorrage. And this is the way the 
modem-medicin man is permitted by the government of a 
"Christian cuntry" to torture an animal in the closing years 
of a life of toil and duty faithfully done. 

The injections of tetanus-toxins — that is, so-calld tetanus 
germs grown in the same way in beef broth — frequently 
produce horribl results in the horse, the animal falling pros- 
trate after each injection, with legs extended, labord breathing 
and small pulse. 

Is It Worth While? 

If peopl ar abl to believ that these weird and cruel methods 
of treating diseas can be of any possibl servis, one can only 
admire faith's response to a very big demand.

The folloing ar extracts from one of the many educational 
leaflets by the New England Anti-Vivisection Society, 605 
Tremont Temple, Boston, Mass. 

George M. Gould, M.D., Editor of American Magazine, 
late Editor of the Medical News, etc., says: 

"If a very limited use of vivisection experiment is necessary 
for sientific and medical progress, it should he regulated by 
law. The practis carrid on by conceited jackanapes to prove 
over and over again alredy asertaind results, to minister to 
egotism, for didactic purposes — these ar not necessary and 
must be forbidden." 

''Dr. Klein, a fisiolog^ist, before the Roval Commission 
(England) testified that he had no regard at all for the suffer- 
ings of the animals he used, and never used anesthetics except 
for didactic purposes, unless necessary for his own conven- 
ience, and that he had no time for thinking what the animal 
would feel or suffer. It may be denied, but I am certain a few 
American experimenters feel the same way, and act in 
accordance with their feelings." 

Prof. Henry J. Bigelow, M.D., LL.D., late Professor of 
Surgery in Harvard University, Surgeon of Mass. General 
Hospital, Member of Mass. Medical Society, etc., said: 

"Vivisection is not an innocent study. It can be indiscrim- 
inately pursued only by torturing animals ; and the word 
'torture' is here intentionally used to convey the idea of very 
severe pain — sometimes the severest concievabl pain, of in- 
definit duration, often terminating, fortunately for the animal, 
with its life, but as often only after hours or days of refined 
infliction continuously or at intervals. 

"A man about to be burnd under a railroad car begs some- 
body to kil him. The Hindu suttee has been abolisht for its 
inhumanity, and yet it is a statement to be taken literally, 
that a brief deth by burning would be considerd a happy 
release by a human being undergoing the experience of some 
of the animals who slowly die in a laboratory. 

George Wilson, M.D., LL.D., Author of Handbook of 
Hygiene, President of the State Medicine Section of the Brit- 
ish Medical Association, i8pQ, said:

"After all these long years of flickering hope, I am prepared 
to contend that the indiscriminate maiming and slautering of 
animal life with which these bacteriological methods of 
reserch and experimentation hav been inseparably associated, 
cannot be proved to hav saved one singl human life or lessend 
in any apreciabl degree the load of human suffering. 

"I boldly say there should be some pause in these ruthless 
lines of experimentation. I hav not allied myself to the anti- 
vivisectionists, but I accuse my profession of misleading the 
public as to the cruelties and horrors which ar perpetrated 
on animal life. When it is stated that the actual pain involvd 
in these experiments is commonly of the most trifling des- 
cription there is a supression of the truth of the most palpabl 
kind, which could only be accounted for at the time by ignor- 
ance of the actual facts. I admit that in the mere operation 
of injecting a virus, whether cultivated or not, there may be 
littl or no pain, but the cruelty does not He in the operation 
itself, which is permitted to be performd without anesthetics, 
but in the after effects. Whether so-calld toxins ar injected 
under the skin, into the peritoneum, into the cranium under the 
dura mater, into the pleural cavity, into the veins, eyes or other 
organs — and all these methods ar ruthlessly practist — there 
is a long-drawn-out agony. The animal so innocently operated 
on may hav to liv days, weeks or months, with no anesthetic 
to assuage its sufferings, and nothing but deth to reliev." 

Dr. W. O. Markham, F. R. C. P., Physician to St. Mary's 
Hospital, London, Lecturer on Physiology, St. Mary's Hos- 
pital Medical School, London, said: 

"The proper and only object of all justifiabl experiments 
on animals is to determin unknown facts in fisiology, path- 
ology and therapeutics, whereby medical sience may be 
directly or indirectly advanst. When, therefore, any fact of 
this kind has been once determind and positivly acquired to 
sience, all repetition of experiments for its further demon- 
stration is unnecessary and therefore unjustifiahl. 

"All experiments, therefore, performd before students, in 
classes or otherwize, for the purpose of demonstrating known 
facts in fisiology or therapeutics ar unjustifiahl. And they ar 
especially unjustifiahl becaus they ar performd before those 
who, being mere students, ar incapabl of fully comprehending 

three hundred eighty-seven 



their value and meaning. They ar needless and cruel: needless 
becaus they demonstrate what is alredy acquired to sience; 
and especially cruel becaus if admitted as a recognized part of 
students' instruction their constant and continued repetition 
thru all time would be required." 

The British Medical Journal in an editorial said: 
"The conditions under which — and under which alone — 
vivisections may be justifiably performd seem to us to be 
clear and easily stated. We would say then, in the first place, 
that those experiments on living animals, and those alone, ar 
justifiabl which ar performd for the purpose of elucidating 
obscure or unknown questions in fisiology or pathology; that 
whenever any fisiological or pathological fact has been dis- 
tinctly and satisfactorily cleard up and settld, all further 
repetition of the experiments which wer originally performd 
for its demonstration is unjustifiabl; that they ar needless 
torture inflicted on animals, being in fact performd, not for 
the purpose of elucidating unknown facts, hut to satisfy man's 
curiosity" 

Prof. Theophilus Parvin, M. D., LL.D., Jefferson Medical 
College, Philadelphia, Pa., ex-President American Academy 
of Medicine, said in an address: 

"While it is my belief that the majority of vivisectors pur- 
sue their work out of ardent love of sience or desire to benefit 
humanity (and I trust they carefully and conscientiously avoid 
inflicting needless pain), there ar others who seem, seeking 
useless knoledge, to be bhnd to the writhing agony and def 
to the cry of pain of their victims, and who hav been gilty 
of the most damnabl cruelties, without the denunciation by the 
public and the profession that their wickedness deservs and 
demands. These criminals ar not confined to Germany or 
France, to England or Italy, but may be found in our own 
cuntry." 

The late Prof. Lawson Tait, M.D., F.R.C.S., LL.D., said 
in the Medical Press and Circular: 

"Some day I shal hav a tombstone put over my grave and 
an inscription upon it. I want only one thing recorded on it, 
and that to the effect that 'he labord to divert his profession 

three hundred eighty-eighty 



from the blundering which has resulted from the performance 
of experiments on the sub-human groups of animal life, in 
the hope that they would shed light on the aberrant fisiology 
of the human groups.' Such experiments never hav succeded 
and never can ; and they hav, as in the cases of Koch, Pasteur 
and Lister, not only hinderd true progress, but hav coverd 
our profession with ridicule." 

Dr. John Elliotson, Physiologist, in Elliotson's ''Human 
Physiology, p. 428, says: 

**I cannot refrain from expressing my horror at the amount 
of torture which Dr. Brachet inflicted. ... I hardly think 
knoledge is worth having at such a purchase, or that it was 
ordaind that we should obtain knoledge by cruelty. ... A 
course of experimental fisiology, in which brutes ar agonized 
to exhibit facts alredy establisht, is to the disgrace of the 
cuntry which permits it." 

**The ground for public supervision is that vivisection, 
immesurably beyond any other pursuit, involvs the infliction of 
torture to littl or no purpose. Motiv apart, painful vivisection 
differs from that usual cruelty of which the law takes absolute 
cognizance, mainly in being practist by an educated clas, who, 
having once becum callus to its objectionabl features, find its 
pursuit an interesting occupation under the name of Sience. 

"In order that painful vivisection may be as nearly as possibl 
supprest, not only by public opinion, but by law, it is essential 
that public opinion should be frequently informd of what it 
is and may be. Here lies the work of the anti-vivisectionist. 
Further, every laboratory ought to be open to some super- 
vizing legal authority competent to determin that it is con- 
ducted from roof to cellar on the humanest principls, in 
default of which it should be, as slavery has been, uncom- 
promisingly prohibited wherever law can accomplish this 
result. 

"A torture of helpless animals — more terribl by reason of 
its refinement and the effort to prolong it, than burning at the 
stake, which is brief — is now being carrid on in all 'civilized' 
nations, not in the name of religion but of Sience. 

" 'But burning was useless, while vivisection is profitabl.' 
Here we reach the kernel of the argument of the pain-inflicting 
vivisector. The reply is, that by far the larger part of vivi- 

three hundred eighty-nine 



section is as useless as was an auto da fe. It does not lead 
to discovery. The caracter of the minds of most of those who 
usually practis it makes this hardly a possibility. Real discov- 
erers ar of a different texture of mind, which yu cannot create 
by scools; nor can yu retard their progress by restrictions, 
put on all yu may. But restrictions wil and should cut off the 
horde of dul torturers who folio in the wake of the discoverer, 
actuated by a dozen different motivs, from a desire for re- 
serch, down to the wish to gratify a teacher or to comply with 
a scool requisition." 

"Surgical Anaesthesia," by Little, Brown & Co., Boston, 
contains the folloing: 

"The law should interfere. There can be no dout that in 
this relation there exists a case of cruelty to animals far 
transcending in its refinement and its horror anything that 
has been known in the history of nations. 

"There wil cum a time when the world wil look back to 
modem vivisection in the name of Sience as it now does to 
the burning at the stake in the name of religion."

MATERIALISM VS. HUMANITY 

The folloing ar a few extracts from an address of Hon. 
Charles Edward Russell On The Ethics of Vivisection, entitld 
"Materialism vs. Humanity/' deliverd before the Society for 
the Humane Regulation of Vivisection, Feb. i6, ip20, at 
Washington, D. C* 

If we could go back about 150 years, a bil introduced to 
Congress to regulate blood letting would hav been met by 
a similar array of the medical profession as a body to prevent 
vivisection at the present time. Yu would hav been told 
as yu ar now that the practis the bil assaild was necessary to 
sience and the welfare of mankind. 

Or go back some 80 or 90 years when it was held by the 
profession that if a man had a fever he must not drink water. 
If he did, he would die. All the medical authorities believd 
that as fervently as they now believ that to caus pain to 
dogs is essential to the progress of medical sience. Colonel 
IngersoU in one of his lectures explaind what happend. Under 
that infrangibl rule of medical sience the sick almost perisht 
of torturing thirst until at last some poor sufferer said, "I 
am so thirsty I might as wel die anyway," and he got up 
and drank a pitcher ful of water and proceded immediately 
to get wel. So this unassailabl faith of the medical profession 
of that day was completely overturnd by a layman. 

Or go to a later period. I remember when the medical 
profession advocated the use of calomel until the sick man's 
teeth dropt out. If yu had said in those days that calomel 
did more harm than good, yu would hav been recorded as 
an enemy to medical sience and the human race. If, further, 
yu had suggested that the poor human frame being il becaus 
it had one kind of poison, it was manifest folly to load it 
with another, yu would hav had the entire medical profession 
calling anathemas down upon your unlucky hed, as yu now hav 
for saying that the progress of mankind is not furtherd by 
torturing helpless and inarticulate beasts. 

So it has been always. Whenever yu approach caste with 
any suggestion that caste has been making an error, with any 
proposal that touches the pride of that caste, the ranks of

three hundred ninety-one 



that caste close against yu and reason and deliberation ar 
thrown aside. 

So it has been with every forward step. The caste spirit 
has always been against it; the "facts" hav always been in 
favor of it. In the end facts hav overcum the caste spirit. 

While gentlemen of one caste or another hav b6en 
proclaiming against any advance, the great forces that move 
men forward from darkness to light, from ignorance to infor- 
mation and from cruelty to love, work on the world unceasing 
and inevitabl. 

I object to vivisection becaus it is absolutely futil. With 
care and reserch I hav red the testimony on this point. I hav 
faild to find a particl of evidence that anything advantageus 
to humanity has actually been won from this practis. 

Take for exampl the appaling epidemic of Spanish influenza. 
The old scool of medicin in the face of this emergency could 
do nothing except hold its hands and say, 'Tt wil hav to take 
its course." Then so far as Spanish influenza is concemd, 
how much better off is the cuntry than it would be if it 
had not an old-scool doctor in it? 

All this time there was practising in this cuntry another 
scool of medicin that derives none of its theories from the 
torture of animals, that scorns the use of ded microbe serums 
— and that scool of medical practis was curing 90% of the 
cases of neumonia, without experimentation upon a singl 
animal. 

Take beri-beri victims for exampl. A whole shipload of 
them wer cured by an uneducated layman without any serum 
or any mistical magic of ded microbes, but simply by a change 
of diet. 

I am opposed to vivisection for the sake of the doctors. 
I am a frend of the doctors. They ar as a rule good men. 
They ar too good to be engaged in causing or defending 
unnecessary evil. I want to save them from themselvs. 

I want to save the doctors becaus I kno perfectly wel that 
the diseas of diseases in 90% of the cases is Fear, and the 
ultimate result of this practis of vivisection is to increas the 
sum of human fear. 

For every person slain by diseas 20 ar kild by the fear 
of that diseas. It is the almost universal fear.

Medical training takes a yung man in college and begins 
sistematically at the outset to harden all his susceptibilities. 
He is traind not to betray a human sentiment. His education 
begins by torturing dogs before him that he may be familiar 
with pain. He is taut that simpathy and interest in his patient 
ar unprofessional. 

/ do not heliev that any diseas was ever cured by internal 
medicin nor can be. There is more curativ power in a few 
words of encouragement, kindness and love than there is in 
the whole range of materia medica. But the whole process of 
training the yung medical student in the regular medical col- 
lege is to harden his sensibilities, which kils every chance of 
simpathy on the part of the physician who should be the source 
of simpathy and your healer. Whether your physician be 
sientific is of the least moment to yu. What yu want is to be 
helpt, and all this hardening process the yung physician goes 
thru in college violates the only effectiv process of healing. 

The old-style family physician, tho often without training 
in a medical scool, was much more successful than the modern 
practitioner armd with ful information about the brains of 
two hundred dogs. This was becaus the old-style family 
physician made so great a point of cheerfulness, confidence, 
and hope. He cheerd his patients, gav them encouragement 
and hope, and upon that theory he proceded. 

As an exampl of cheerfulness vs. fear, I wil cite one case 
that I saw myself. Twelv years ago there was lying in a 
certain hospital in New York City a yung man who was said 
to be afflicted with an incurabl nervus diseas. Many distin- 
guisht doctors came to see him. One evening about six o'clock 
they said, "He wil die before morning, and we wil hav the 
autopsy at eleven o'clock tomorro." One of the doctors said, 
"This is an interesting case and I cannot be here at eleven 
o'clock. I hav an autopsy elsewhere to perform at that hour. 
Can't yu make it at ten?" The other doctors conceded this 
becaus the case was so interesting. They felt all hands should 
hav a chance at it. Just as this was all settld, in came an old 
frend of this yung man. He said to the doctors, "Yu get out 
of here while the getting is good" and his gestures spoke 
louder than words, which I wil leav for yu to ges. He then 
came to the bedside of the yung man and said, "Old boy, 
listen to me. Yu ar not going to pas out. These doctors hav 

three hundred ninety-three 



scared yu half to deth and yu think yu ar going to die, but we 
wil fool them yet." Three months later this same yung man 
was walking and beginning to feel as good as new. That 
was twelv years ago. That yung man servd thru the war and 
rose to a commission. Three months ago he was at my house 
to dinner as wel a man as anybody in Washington. Tel this 
to an old-scool physician and with a smile of superiority he 
he wil say "it is impossibl," but I saw it all myself. 

Mankind has been benefited medically only in proportion 
as men hav cum to realize their natural power over matter 
and their inalienabl right to helth. There is no other progress. 
Nature effects cures. They ar not rought by serums, ded bugs, 
or other parafernalia of the modern witchcraft termd by 
the huge sardonic jest "medical sience." 

If any of these eminent physicians, for whom I protest again 
I hav the kindest feelings, wil put before the public the actual 
figures of their actual deth lists from neumonia and influenza 
at the Walter Reed Hospital, and the army camps from influ- 
enza and neumonia, I wil put beside them the figures of the 
cures of those diseases effected by drugless healers, and I think 
that in the light of that comparison, it wil be with diminisht 
assurance that any of these gentlmen appear before any com- 
mittee to insist upon the right to cut up dogs. 

After 75 years of vivisection, they remain in the same 
condition of inability to cope with the commonest diseases. 
They cannot even cure a cold. Reumatism, probably the 
commonest diseas of all, they kno nothing about. After 
holding for seventy-five years that it was causd by an acid 
and to be cured by an alkali, they now decide it is causd by an 
alkali and to be cured by an acid, and neither process can ever 
adduce a singl instance of a cure. Why then do they insist 
upon more of this bloody work in their dissecting rooms ? 

I think such a high authority as Osier says that 70% of 
the diseases, whose allegd simptoms he describes, he leavs 
by saying that "there is no known remedy for this diseas." 
If then, after seventy-five years of vivisection they can arrive 
at no better results than this, my deliberate judgment is that 
it is time for them to acknoledge their failure and turn their 
attention to something valuabl. 

I think enuf of the dum creatures hav been sacrificed on 
the alters of an unprovabl fetish. I think there hav been 

three hundred ninety-four 



shrieks and moans enuf in its laboratories. I think that often 
enuf dissectors and demonstrators hav verified and trampld 
upon the first law of humanity, and it is time they should cease 
to do great rong under the plan of doing a littl good. 

I think when we hav obliterated vivisection the medical 
profession wil begin to be really emancipated, becaus then 
yu would hav a chance to teach the yung practitioner not the 
allegd advantages of being cruel, hard harted and indifferent 
to suffering, but the properties, advantages and laws of the 
real curativ power of the world, which by whatever name it 
is calld is exprest in simpathy, love and hope ; and in that way 
yu would reform the medical profession. 

I hav been on iland after iland in the South Pacific. 
Everywhere I hav found a condition which indicated that 
before white man came, the peopl had practically no diseases 
becaus they did not kno diseas. Consequently they did not 
hav diseas. Then came the white man with his belief in dis- 
eas and introduced not merely diseas itself but the thot of 
diseas, the belief in diseas, and diseas followd. 

Again I say the fruits of vivisection ar nothing hut 
degradation and delusion. Vivisectors say, "What if it wer 
the life of your child weighd against the life of a dog?" 
The question is unfair and impracticabl. Who can say if the 
life of his child wer imperild what he would or would not do? 
If it is necessary to sacrifice the life of a dog in order to save 
the life of my child, let the life of that dog be sacrificed 
then without pain. Let us not slander the humanity with 
which we ar clothed. Let us not stand with superior intel- 
ligence that God gave us by using our strength and our skil 
for one instant of needless torture of those unabl to defend 
themselvs. 

Vivisectors say that the life of a man may be preservd by 
sacrificing the life of a dog. I say to them that there ar cer- 
tain limits beyond which it is not worth while to go in 
preserving the life of a man. Life bot by the sacrifice of 
self respect, life bot by cowardis or treachery is not worth 
having. Yu kno that life without honor is not worth having. 
Then I say that life that must be bot by such monstrus exercize 
of tyrannical power, life that must be bot by such a terribl 
act of cowardis, of cruelty upon the helpless and defenseless, 
life so preservd is not worth preserving.

Life without the consciousness of righteousness, integrity, 
honor, truth — that is not Ufe. To liv is to go thru this period 
of erthly existence with the consciousness that man has at 
least tried to walk uprightly in the sight of his Maker and 
that he has at least tried to fulfil the law of mercy, good wil, 
justis; above all, this law that we do unto others as we would 
hav others do unto us. With that law no ingenuity in man can 
possibly reconcile vivisection. 

All the sofistries that ar spun on this subject, the whole 
body of theory and assertion, all the visionary saving of life 
and the benefiting of mankind, vanish absolutely when yu 
aply that one fundamental law. If that is so, how then can 
man, the image of his Maker, defend a practis so far from 
the one ultimate truth? 

He prayeth wel, who loveth wel 
Both man and bird and beast; 
He prayeth best, who loveth best 
All things both great and small ; 
For the dear God who loveth us, 
He made and loveth all.

ANOTHER FUNERAL OF A MEDICAL "FACT'' 

As this MSS. goes to pres I hav recievd in my monthly 
report from England the folloing items, which I kno wil be 
of great interest to my readers. This came in after the 
rest of this book was in type. Think it over, dear reader — 
just think and act to abolish all so-calld "Helth Boards," which 
ar working in sheep's clothing. They ar truly Diseas Boards 
and Fear Mongers. 

During 1919 there wer in England and Wales forty-five 
cases of diftheria among a certain number who had recievd 
anti-tyfoid and anti-diftheria treatment, and only one case 
among the same number who had recievd no vaccination. 
(1 to 45 in favor of no vaccination). 

This is one of the strongest nock-out blows to the antitoxin 
fetish that I kno about. 

In the official medical report for the Isle of Wight for the 
year 1919, it was stated that no vaccinated case of smallpox 
proved fatal. I have an exact report of every case of small- 
pox of that whole year and during 1919 the only case that 
proved fatal was one that had been vaccinated, and nearly 
every case of smallpox for the year was among vaccinated 
persons. 

I hav the record of each case, and the cases of smallpox 
among those who wer not vaccinated recoverd from seven 
to twenty-one days sooner than among those who wer vac- 
cinated. 

This wil giv some idea of the untruthfulness of "official 
medical reports." 



According to the actual statistics just recievd, the chances 
of an English child having smallpox today is about one in 
a million — this in England where vaccination is not 
compulsory. 



The London Times givs a long abstract from the Aug. 
28, 1920 issue of the British Medical Journal. Some of them 
ar as follows : 

"Few attempts wer made to vaccinate soldiers against 
disintery chiefly on account of the severe toxic effects 
folloing subcutaneous injections of kild cultures, altho labor- 

three hundred ninety-seven 



atory experiments wer quite as favorabl to the efficacy of 
disintery vaccination as to that for the tyfoid fever, which 
shows once more that laboratory results ar no safe gide to 
results in practis. 



We do not hear much from the authorities about these 
severe toxic effects, and perhaps we should not hav herd 
now wer there not a brand new and "superior" method to be 
extold. 



To sho how bacteriologists giv reports to mislead the 
public we call attention to the fact that in the Daily Mail 
(London) of August 15, 1919, under the hed of "Triumphs 
of Bacteriology," it shows profylactic inoculation has diminisht 
or prevented colera and disintery in our eastern armies. 

We replied to that at the time by quoting official figures 
for hospital cases of disintery at Solonica in 1918 at 58.6 
per thousand. We hav very high authority for stating that 
disintery inoculation, which was used very littl (being so 
poisonus) was the beneficial caus of the diminishment of 
disintery which did not take place. 



According to the findings of one of the bacteriologists at 
Pasteur Institute, Paris, the presence or absence of antibodies 
in the blood is no longer to be considerd the test of immunity. 

This bacteriologist has also found that while a singl 
injection of ded bacilli increast the antibodies in the blood 
400 times in 18 days, yet they fel away to normal in a month, 
and that successiv inoculations got no increas whatever. 

The British Medical Journal in summing up these findings 
says, "The injection of massiv doses of kild disintery bacilli 
is followd by the production of specific agglutinin lasting 
for a very limited time only; the renewal of the injection so 
far from increasing the small quantity of agglutinin, is followd 
a month after by their complete disappearance. It would seem 
that after the first absorption of the organisms the intestin 
refuses to absorb any further quantity." 



Antibodies Exploded. 

Having been assured for years as an axiom of bacteriology 

three hundred ninety-eight 



that the amount of antibodies in the blood was the mesure 
of its resistance to diseas, we ar now told that: 

"The production of antibodies should be avoided, for they 
ar acquired at the expense of bodily reactions which ar 
sometimes very serius." 

If we can be made immune from diseas without either 
local or general reaction, the hitherto accepted theory of 
immunization gets another dislocating, jolt. 



The British bacteriologists ar advocating the taking by 
way of the mouth kild bacilli in ox gall, which they claim 
acts much better as a preventativ of disintery and colera 
than any subcutaneus method yet known. 

The Times comments on this in their Aug. 31, 1920, 
edition as follows : 

"The positiv effect is a new and easier type of vaccination. 
The negativ concerns the danger of los of immunity. May 
it be that we got tyfoid fever becaus we hav previusly 
swallowd some substance which, like the bile, robs us of 
our natural protection? Can any disturbance of our own 
biliary sistem work a similar effect? These results, if they 
ar confirmd, open a prospect of reserch which is almost 
limitless. They turn attention positivly from the seed to 
the soil, from germs to the men and animals who may 
harbor or be attackt by them." 

If the medical profession begin to reconsider the soil, 
as wel as the hypothetical seed, their path may wend back a 
littl nearer to Nature and commonsense. Meanwhile the 
bacteriologists may be reconciled to the subversion of their 
dogmas in the prospect of "limitless reserch" for which the 
public wil hav to pay. 



Results. 

If the public wer to look in the returns of the Registrar- 
General for the practical justification of this "limitless re- 
serch," this holocaust of tortured animals, these tons of manu- 
factured filth for the blood poisoning of millions, the public 
wil hav trubl to find it. 

In ten years the cancer deths per million hav mounted from 
962 to 1,218. Diftheria, which we ar told has been abolisht, 

three hundred ninety-nine 



claimd 142 per million in 1918, one les than in 1909 and ten 
more than in 1917. 

On the other hand, diseases for which no antitoxin has been 
used, such as croup, measls, scarlet fever, diarrea, hav hevily 
decUned, the fall in ten years being respectively 
Croup 7 to 1 
Measls 356 to 289 
Scarlet Fever 91 to 29 
Diarrea 139 to 77 

However, if they must vaccinate, it is better that they should 
vaccinate without reactions — harmlessly as wel as uselessly 
by way of the mouth. 

The "Star" and the ''Sheffield Independence," Sept. 4, 1920, 
edition hav an identical leaderette on the subject, assuming 
that the oral method of vaccinating against enteric fever can 
be adopted for "preventing" smallpox also. These publi- 
cations say: "The Pasteur Institute has discoverd that the 
method of vaccination ordinarily pursued — aplication under 
the skin — is not necessary after all. It seems that if we take 
our dose of ded germs hy mouth, it is more effectiv. 

Many rabbits of course hav had to be slain before the 
vivisectors could arrive at their new theory (for the vaccin- 
ator's thots ar nives), but the layman wil more redily extend 
his simpathy to the miUions of children who hav sufferd the 
miserabl discomfort of inoculation and its after-effects ■ — 
deth in many instances, gastly disfigurement in many others ■ — 
all for nothing. And wil not the pubhc vaccinators, who draw 
cosy incums from the practis of this now discredited theory 
of inoculation, look askance at the new theory? All that 
impressiv parafemalia of the lancet and the lether bag renderd 
useless at one fel bio. But we suppose the ingenuity of Pas- 
teurism wil be equal to the task of retaining the fee in 
eliminating the work." 

Whether the new method of swalloing disintery germs by 
the mouth, with or without a preparation of ox bile, wil be 
more popular than the old, remains to be seen. 



What is the reason of a Ministry of Helthf Surely to 
abolish diseas. But — the profession livs, moves and has its 
being in disease and on Diseas and by DISEAS. To suppose 
we shal abolish diseas by bringing the profession in organic re- 

four hundred 



lationship with administration is a flat contradiction of com- 
mon sense. In proportion as diseas declined, doctors, like 
"old soldiers" would "fade away." 

It would be just precisely as logical and sensibl to set up 
a council of "old soldiers" to abolish war, or of clergymen 
to abolish religion, or saloon-keepers to abolish the thirst for 
intoxicants. 

"Every profession is a prejudice." It is redy at the shortest 
notis and on the first opportunity to exchange a saprofitic for 
a parasitic existence at the expense of the State. 

In the Middl Ages the Church ruled and ruind. At other 
times the military profession hav seizd the steering gear of 
the State. Monarchs hav had to be abohsht owing to the 
selfishness and arrogance with which they subordinated the 
national interest to their own. 

Now it appears the star of medical tiranny is in the 
ascendant, and those who welcumd or palliated the new 
Ministry of Helth or folded their hands in interested neutral- 
ity hav alredy begun to rue their complacence. 

The Daily Mail, whose ignorant clamor helpt to hasten the 
advent of the Helth Ministry, now denounces it as a "tipical 
wastrel body" 

We do not see how it is any more the business of the State 
to provide costly medical apparatus and drugs and vaccins and 
clinics and institutions and specialists than it is to provide 
everybody food and clothing and housing and amusements. 

Plainly we ar to hav a multiplying horde of medical 
parasites quarterd on a disarmd and helpless public, poisoning 
and sucking its blood similtaneusly.

VIVISECTION* 
By Albert Payson Terhune 

A Kansas City woman was going home just after dark one 
winter evening. She took a crosscut that carrid her thru a 
vacant lot behind a big medical scool. A piteus moaning 
sound caut her attention. Exploring, she came upon a dog 
— or something that once had been a dog — lying in the 
blood-staind sno. 

The woman pickt up the shivering and bleeding creature 
and carrid him to her home. There she examind him and 
calld in several reputabl witnesses to share her examination. 

The waif was a half-grown puppy that had been used, 
among hundreds of others, for vivisection purposes and had 
then been tost out of the clinic windo to die. His body was 
in a state which cannot be described. Every torturing wound 
that can be inflicted on any creature — every torment that 
so-calld human ingenuity can frame — ^had been wreakt on 
the luckless pup. 

The poor brute's rescuer and her frends wrout over the 
mangld reck of puppy-hood and at last brot the dog back to 
life and a semblance of helth. They did more. They printed 
his picture and his story on a post card — Mike was the 
poetic name they gave him — and then scatterd the cards 
broadcast thru the land. An enlarged fotograf of Mike hangs 
over my desk. In his dark eyes is a cronic look of suffering 
and of fear. Yet he is one of the very few vivisection subjects 
that has survived. Mike is lucky. The cHnical torture 
chamber seldom givs up its victims until they hav paid the 
final dred toll to sience. 

Vivisection has had its champions for centuries — men 
who hav sought to silence the protests of more humane folk 
by asking sternly: 

*Ts not a mere animal wel sacrificed if the sacrifice can 
teach sience the secret of saving some human life?'' 

That was a splendid argument. It might hav remaind so 
until this day. But, unfortunately for the vivisectors, several 
hundred illustrius physicians and surgeons hav cum forward 
of late years with the bald assertion that neither medicin nor 
surgery has ever been benefited in any way by the cutting up 

*From The Country Gentleman, Philadelphia, Oct. 16, 1920, issue. 
four hundred three 



of live animals. Fully half the medical fraternity ar of this 
opinion. And many members of the remaining half declare 
themselvs in dout. 
Some of the Processes 

Even in the days v^hen part of the public stil believd the 
ancient surgical lie that vivisection wsls an aid in saving 
human lives, the folloing historical bit of repartee was 
formulated : 

An English celebrity — Wilberf orce — had been arguing 
against the hideus practis. A titld vivisector sought to silence 
him by thundering the asinine query : 

"Wouldn't yu consent to hav a live dog cut to pieces to 
save your own child's life?" 

"I would gladly consent to hav yu cut to pieces to save my 
child's life," anserd Wilberforce blandly, "but would that 
make it right?" 

Vivisection is not a pretty theme ; nor does its exampl make 
plesant reading. But it is something to be faced, like most 
other unplesant themes, and it is a subject that every humane 
American should understand in ful. I am going to cite some 
few exampls of it in the course of this articl. Not fictional 
or elaborated tales, but facts which ar backt by unimpeachabl 
affidavits. I could not exaggerate. It would be impossibl 
for anyone to exaggerate vivisection. Read and form your 
own conclusions as to the need for such a practis. 

Briefly, vivisection is the cutting up and similar torturing 
of live animals, with the alleged idea of gaining from their 
torments certain biological and pathological facts designd to 
be useful in the treatment of human maladies. Here ar 
some of the processes : 

A domestic animal, oftenest a dog, is stretcht, chest 
downward, on a prepared board. He is strapt there, spred- 
eagl fashion, his lips usually sewd or clampt together so that 
his screams shal not disturb outsiders or shake the operators' 
nervs. 

Sometimes he is put under mild anesthetic. Oftener he 
is not. For his sufferings under extreme agony ar supposed 
to be worth nothing. When the throat is to be operated on 
the lips cannot be fastend. 

"In these cases," says La Physiologie Operatoire, "to stop 
the cries of the animal, without hindering respiration, the 

four hundred four 



windpipe is first dissected and a hole driven thru it. It is 
then Hfted and a large nail past across it from behind. 
Dupuytren used to cut the recurrent laryngeal tubes to make 
the beast dumb." 

Any one of a hundred operations ar performd. Sometimes 
the spinal cord is laid bare with a nife and tests ar made as 
to the sensations causd by the cutting or scratching or other 
sharp instrument of the cord. This is said to be the most 
excruciatingly painful torture known to sience. Or the hart 
is experimented on, in similar fashion, or some other organ 
is submitted to like anguish. Here is a verbatim account of 
one such operation, copied from a sworn affidavit: 

"First, the scalp was cut at the base of the skul and then 
they cut the entire scalp loose and turnd it back over the 
eyes ; one could see nothing but raw flesh on the hed. Then 
the animals wer trephined" — skul sawd open — "and the 
brain operated upon. . . . They would lift with forceps the 
skin of the brain and then operate either by cutting or with 
needls. — The animals yel most pitifully. They howl and 
moan; their agony becums so intense that they almost faint. 
. . . The cries ar more pitiful than any human ear can endure. 
. . . The surgeons hit the animals on the hed to keep them 
quiet." 

Another operation deals with "a dog immovably fixt to 
the operating board, so that boiling water can be pourd into 
his intestins while he is alive." In another, "long flexibl tubes 
ar inserted at some convenient part of a superficial blood 
vessel and then pusht along into the different parts of the 
hart and deeper blood vessels ; the jugular vein of the bound- 
down and muzzld animal having first been dissected." A med- 
ical footnote appended to the account of this last operation 
ads : "No information of specific value gaind, the vivisectors 
disagreeing stubbornly among themselvs." 

If a dog survives one set of tests he is patcht up and 
returnd to the clinic's kennels for use on some other day. 
Some dogs undergo a half dozen operations or more before 
deth is merciful enuf to free them. 

There is no need of going into ful details as to the surgical 
methods used, nor to cite all the copius medical notes that 
tel how many days a dog may liv on in torment after one

part or another of its body has been cut away or with its 
brain or spinal cord exposed. 

But here ar one or two tortures of a different form, that 
ar in common use. (See Figs. A, B, and C, pages 366-^6'/.) 

To test a dog's endurance of heat he is put in an oven that 
is glas coverd so that its occupant's every phase of agony 
can be studied. The most elaborate of these ovens is one 
devized by Claude Bernard, who invented the apparatus in 
order to record the better his own notes on the subject. He 
made a series of experiments along this line with dogs and cats 
and other animals and proved to his triumfant satisfaction 
that they could stay alive anywhere from ten to twenty minits 
in a stove heated to a temperature ranging from 200 to 300 
degrees Fahrenheit. In these heat tests some dogs ar baked 
to deth and some ar merely boild. 

A favorit method of obtaining pure gastric juice is to strap 
dogs in a row on a tabl, let them reach the point of starvation, 
then offer them platefuls of finely chopt meat. The famisht 
dogs gobbl this food eagerly, but that is all the good it does 
them. For a cut has alredy been made in the poor wretches' 
throats. The chopt food falls out thru this. A hole cut into 
the stomac allows the gastric juice to flo thru a tube into a 
receptacl placed to catch it. 

Starvation and thirst ar common forms of tests, so that the 
effects on animals' sistems may be recorded. 

A physician once described to me, laffing at his own story, 
a trick whereby he got hold of a vivisection subject. I do 
not vouch for the incident's truth, tho the narrator gave it to 
me as a fact. The clinic with which he was connected ran 
short of animals. To continue the day's work and to illus- 
trate some needed point, another victim was necessary — and 
needed in a hurry. My doctor acquaintance volunteerd to go 
out and scout. 

Before he had walkt a block he met a littl girl who was 
hugging to her loving hart a fluffy and loudly purring kitten. 
The doctor stopt her and praisd the beauty of her pet. He 
told her it was the prettiest he had ever seen and he beggd 
leav to borro it for a few minits to sho to some frends who 
wer "crazy about kittens." 

Proud to hav her beloved chum admired by such an 
appreciativ stranger, the child willingly handed the kitten 

four hundred six 



over to him, on his promis to return it to her in a few minits. 

"For all I kno/' he ended his chuckling recital, "the fool 
kid is stil standing on that corner, waiting for her Cat!" 

There ar horribl bits of pathos mingld with this carnival 
of animal tragedy. Witness Latour's account of a clinic he 
attended where the ferociously cruel Doctor Magendie of 
Paris, was demonstrating canine suffering to a clas of students. 

"I recall a poor dog," rites Doctor Latour, in L* Union 
Medicale, "the roots of whose vertebral nervs he desired to 
lay bare. The dog, alredy mutilated and bleeding, twice 
escaped from under the implacabl nife, and flung his fore- 
paws round Magendie's neck, licking his face as if to soften 
his torturer's hart and to plead for mercy. Vivisectors may 
laf at me, but I confess I was not abl to endure that pitiabl 
sight." 

A companion story is told by Dr. Charles Bell Taylor, F. 
R.C.S., who describes the arrival of a littl pet dog at a college 
clinic. The dog, which had been taut tricks by some fond 
master, had becum lost in the streets. A dog catcher had 
pickt it up and had thriftily sold it to the medical college. 

Into the clinic the littl dog was brot. At first it was inclined 
to regard professors and students alike as its dear f rends. 
But presently the preliminaries of torture gave the clever 
puppy an idea of the black fate in store for it. Breaking 
away from its carelessly tied bonds, it tumd for aid to the only 
helpers its race has ever known — to mankind. Says Doctor 
Taylor : 

"The dog, alarmd at the awful preparations, sat up and 
begd for its life of each assistant in turn. The students, 
moved by this pathetic appeal, endeavord to save the poor 
creature and offerd to buy it or to do anything in order that 
it might be set free, but in vain. It was cruelly tortured and 
brot back to the next lecture for a repetition of the process, 
under which it died." 

Vimsectionists' Chief Retort 

Now, naturally, there is nothing added to the case against 
vivisection by the fact that a frendly littl pup went round 
to his torturers one after another and sat up and begd 
his life of them, using the pretty trick that had doutless won 
him tidbits and pettings from the master who taut it to him. 
Nor hav I added solid testimony to antivivisection's claim 

four hundred seven 



in telling of the frantic dog that threw his paws round Mag- 
endie's neck and lickt the surgeon's face in a wild plea for 
life, tho many a cold-nervd man might perhaps hav slept il 
on the nite after he saw the look in either dog's eyes as 
they besought mercy from the merciless. 

These dogs, like all their kind, lookt on men as their gods. 
And in the hour of agony and terror they prayd to their 
gods for help. Yu hav just red how their prayers wer anserd. 
Nor is there any special lesson in the kitten story. 

No, there is no solid reasoning in any of the three cases 
I hav cited, nor in a hundred more I might cite, to prove that 
vivisection is rong. They ar mere instances of sentiment. And 
the chief retort of vivisectionists to their opponents is that 
anti-vivisectionists ar sentimental. 

This, in spite of the fact that thousands of wize and 
practical peopl hav fought or ar fighting hard against vivi- 
section — Mark Twain, Bismarck, Henry Ward Beecher, 
John Bright, Luther Burbank, Thomas Carlyle, Gilbert 
Chesterton, Wilham James, Cuvier, William Lloyd Garrison, 
W. D. Howells, Humboldt, Cardinal Manning, Henry van 
Dyke, Stanley, General Sir Evelyn Wood, Lord Wolseley, 
Scott, Bernard Shaw, United States Senator Myers, and 
thousands of other great minds, among them innumerabl 
famed surgeons and doctors. 

Yes, the opposition to vivisection is founded partly on 
sentiment. It is founded, largely, too, on the common-sense 
fact that it is a foolish waste to torture and kil animals 
for no good or useful purpose. But let's stick to the senti- 
mental charge. Stop a moment and consider. Yu wil find that 
almost every fine and worth-while thing is founded on 
sentiment. 

For exampl, every hospital and every charity and every 
church and every home is founded on sentiment. So is the 
Red Cross. So is the Christian religion, So wer the teachings 
of our religion's Founder. The Golden Rule and Christ's 
precepts of mercy and forgivness wer pure sentiment — not 
hard-harted utilitarianism. 

Why then should the word "sentimental" be used as a 
term of reproach and of contempt in regard to the many 
thousands of sane men and women who ar fighting against 
vivisection ? 

four hundred eight 



For that matter, vivisectionists hav sentimentalism to thank 
for the los of their very best subjects — namely, their fello- 
men. During hundreds of years, in the Middl Ages and erlier, 
certain classes of condemd criminals wer turnd over to the 
surgeons to be vivisected. In the course of time sentiment 
forbade this custom, and vivisectors wer robd of the chance to 
study the living human sistem at first hand, insted of making 
mere faulty comparisons between it and the sistem of tortured 
beasts. 
Perpetuating Error 

For centuries doctors hav been vivisecting animals, and 
with clocklike regularity one generation of surgeons has been 
refuting and denying and disproving the allegd discoveries 
of the generation that went before. Today, there is enuf 
honesty and clear vizion and progressivness in the medical 
profession to permit some of the foremost doctors to deny that 
any good results hav cum from the practis. Says Boucher,' 
the French surgeon — made an offiser of the Legion of Honor 
for his great servises to humanity : 

"The disappearance of vivisection • — the suppression of 
experiments made on animals, experiments as useless as they 
ar painful — wil be a veritabl advance for sience and a 
benefit for humanity at large." 

Sir Charles Bell, professor of surgery at Edinburgh 
University, goes even further. In his monumental work on 
The Nervus Sistem of the Human Body, he declares : 

"A survey of what has been attempted of late years in 
fisiology wil prove that the opening of living animals has done 
more to perpetuate error than to confirm the just views taken 
from the study of anatomy and natural motions." 

Dr. George Starr White, the California surgeon, has issued 
a remarkabl statement, flaying the practis. Here is a brief 
quotation from it: 

"Some years ago, while visiting one of the largest 
laboratories in New York City, where vivisection is carrid on, 
I saw enuf to make any humane person hide his face in shame. 
When I calld attention to the torturing that was going on 
by varius doctors present, I was held up. to ridicule. Dogs 
wer strapt to their stretchers and opend up without any 
anesthetic whatever. Yung 'doctors' stood round and jeerd 
at the agony and useless struggling of the dogs." 

four hundred nine 



Doctor after doctor has testified that the sistems of dogs 
and cats ar so utterly unlike those of humans that experiments 
on dum animals ar of no use at all in solving misteries of the 
human body. 

Bil after bil has cum up in the varius legislatures and before 
Senate committees to put an end to the nameless vile practis 
of vivisectors or at least to regulate it into some semblance 
of mercy. But, always, the vivisectors ar on hand to block 
in every way the humane bils. 

A Dr. B. A. Watson, of Jersey City, rote a pamflet calld. 
An Experimental Study of Lesions Arising From Severe 
Concussions. 

One of his experiments consisted in hoisting dogs to the 
high ceiling by a pully and then letting the luckless beasts 
drop upon their backs to a grid of iron bars that wer placed 
just above the floor. This fall causd concussion of the spine. 
Some of the 141 dogs that the doctor dropt in this manner 
died more or les quickly. Others livd from a week to ten days. 

The British Medical Journal had the brains and the decency 
to denounce Doctor Watson's experiments, as follows : 

"A record of the most wanton and stupidest cruelty we hav 
ever seen cronicld under the guise of sientific experiments. 
Apart from the utterly useless nature of the observations, as 
regards human surgery or pathology, there is a callus indif- 
ference shown in the descriptions of the sufferings of the 
poor brutes which is positivly revolting." 

Dr. W. S. Halstead, arch-vivisector, rites thus in the 
International Journal of Medical Sience of his tortures in- 
flicted on thirty-one dogs : 

"To satisfy my curiosity I made experiments D and E. 
.... I shal not record the rest of my experiments . . . 
becaus most of them now seem rather absurd to me." 

I hav delt here, almost entirely, with the vivisecting of 
dogs. But horses and mules, as wel as dogs and cats, hav 
gon under the nife again and again for mere experimenta'l 
reserch purposes. 

Alienists — Doctor Bishop and varius others of high standing 
' — hav taken a step further than the mere plea of needless 
cruelty in their arrainment of vivisectors. 

They claim that vivisectors ar not actuated by any sientific 
zeal, but ar mental degenerates. In other words, that vivi- 

four hundred ten 



section is a recognized form of mental perversion — a savage 
mania which is known to the keepers of every madhouse. 
It is of the same order as the spirit which incites murderers 
of a certain type to rip their human victims' bodies to pieces. 

Mark Twain's Arrainment 

Mark Twain was more than a humorist. He was one of the 
wisest men of his day. And I am going to end this articl 
with his famus arrainment of vivisection and vivisectors : 

"The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is 
the basis of my enmity toward it," he rote, "and it is, to me, 
sufficient justification of the enmity, without looking further. 
I hav tried to understand why it should be considerd a kind 
of credit and a handsome thing to belong to a human race 
that has vivisectors in it \"

To the Members of and Contributors to The PubHc School 
Protective League. 

Dear Friends; — 

From figures now available it appears that our proposed 
constitutional amendment (No. 6) Prohibiting Compulsory 
Vaccination was defeated by a majority of approximately 
100,000 votes, 320,000 being cast for the measure and 420,000 
against. However, outside of the cities of San Francisco and 
Oakland which together polled a vote of approximately 
60,000 majority against us, the vote on the measure was 
remarkably close. Los Angeles county went in favor by a 
majority of about 5,000 in a total vote of over 200,000; 
Orange county was carried by a majority of 20; Ventura 
county was lost by less than 100, and the vote in some of 
the other counties was as close, the average majority against 
the measure being less than 1,000 in each county outside of 
the Bay District. Eight votes changed in each precinct would 
have carried the measure. 

On account of the campaign of misrepresentation which 
was carried on against No. 6 and our inability to get general 
newspaper publicity, it is doubtful if the people really under- 
stood the measure and how to vote on it. From reports gath- 
ered throughout the state we find that eighty per cent of 
the parents of California school children are still on record 
in writing as being opposed to the practice of vaccination, 
and we are confident that another campaign for a similar 
measure, and with the benefit of the education of the last 
one, will be successful. 

Plans are, therefore, now being considered for placing a 
measure prohibiting compulsory vaccination on the ballot at 
the next general election. Just how soon we shall commence 
this campaign has not yet been definitely determined but will 
be announced shortly. 

In the meantime the League is preparing for the session 
of the legislature which convenes on the first of January. 
Legislation for medical control in the public schools, is, we 
understand, already prepared to be introduced at the coming 
session. The League will be represented, as it was two years 
ago, before the legislature for the purpose of protecting the 

four hundred twelv 



rights of public school children and their parents against any 
restrictive measures. 

We are, however, in very urgent need of funds to com- 
plete the payment of bills incurred for campaign expense and 
enable us to take\ up next year's work. If you have received 
a bill for dues its prompt payment will be of particular assis- 
tance at this time and special contributions to assist in meet- 
ing our campaign obligations will also be much appreciated. 

The League is now closing what is practically the fourth 
year of its work and while No. 6 did not carry, it is in a 
stronger position and in shape to do more effective work 
than it has ever been before. The campaign in behalf of No. 
6 does not represent wasted effort for almost every person 
throughout the entire state knows of the League and its pur- 
poses, and the education which has been possible through this 
campaign is more than could have been accomplished in 
five year's work. 

And we know that these results have been possible through 
the loyalty and co-operation of our members and we know 
that same support will make it possible for us to "Carry On." 
Yours very truly, 

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL PROTECTIVE LEAGUE,

AFFIDAVIT 

STATE OF CALIFORNIA 
COUNTY OF ALAMEDA 

ADELAIDE DE LIMA and MANUEL DE LIMA, being 
each severally sworn depose and say: 

That they reside at No. 2722 E. 9th Street, Oakland, Cal- 
ifornia, where they have resided for the last two and one-half 
years; that they are the parents of six children, four girls 
and two boys. 

That their youngest son, Daniel De Lima is seven years old 
and has been attending the Lazier Public School for one 
year. That in March 1920, the little boy was informed by 
the nurse at the Lazier School that he must be vaccinated. 
That Daniel protested against being vaccinated and told the 
nurse that his mother did not wish him to be vaccinated, but 
despite his objections and without notice to the parents, the 
nurse vaccinated him. That during the next few days his 
arm became swollen to twice its natural size and his entire 
body became affected and large black spots appear all over 
his body and the child had cramps in his legs and arms and 
could not stand or walk but had to be kept in bed; that a 
doctor was chilled to attend the child but after three weeks 
gave him up ; that a second doctor was called and he took 
the boy to the Free Public Clinic, Grove and 32nd Street, 
Oakland, where a number of doctors worked over him; that 
after the boy had been one week at the Clinic, the nurse there 
informed one of affiants that he was suffering from rheuma- 
tism and tonsilitis and asked permission to operate on him. 

That affiant refused to permit further operation whereupon 
she was ordered to take the boy home ; that she did so and for 
eight weeks the boy has been at home in bed, a hopeless, help- 
less invalid. That no less than seven doctors have attended him 
during all this time and none can help him ; but all pronounce 
him an incurable cripple. That the; child is still under a doc- 
tor's care in the hope that something may yet be done to 
help him, but he suffers terribly and is wasting away day 
by day. 

That before Daniel was vaccinated he was a perfectly 
healthy, happy, normal boy who played on equal footing with 

four hundred fourteen 



his fellows, but since, and from the day of his vaccination 
he has been and now is, a helpless, bedridden invalid, suffering 
untold pain and given up to die by the doctors. That all 
this trouble is due directly to his vaccination which was done 
without our knowledge and against our wishes while he was 
attending the Lazier School, a free pubUc school of the City 
of Oakland, California.

B. T. Bowles and Myra E. Bowles, being first duly sworn, 
depose and say: 

That they reside at 427 California Street, Los Angeles, 
California, and are the father and mother respectively of 
Raymond Bowles, a student regularly enrolled in the Central 
Intermediate High School of said city; that on October 7th 
and 8th, 1920, Raymond was ill and had a fever and that his 
mother gave him, as a remedy which had been used for her 
children many years, senna tea; that whenever such tea had 
heretofore been given that it frequently resulted in the one 
to whom it was given breaking out; that on Monday, October 
11th, Raymond returned to school and was at that time per- 
fectly well; that on the following day he broke out with 
pimples or a rash similar to hives and was excluded from the 
school and ordered to report to the health officer of the city 
of Los Angeles who pronounced him suffering from smallpox 
and quarantined the family at their home on account of such 
alleged smallpox; that such quarantine was continued from 

four hundred fifteen 



the 12th day of October until the 3rd day of November, 1920, 
continuously, when it was discharged. 

That at no time during said quarantine was Raymond ill 
nor confined to bed but was at all times up and around the 
house and in the yard, nor did he ever have smallpox. 

That Harold Bowles, the son of the affiants, was at the time 
of the quarantine and now is regularly enrolled as a student 
of the Hollywood High School and Leroy Bowles, another 
son of affiants, was at the time' of the quarantine and now is 
enrolled as a student at the California school, and that the 
unvaccinated students at the Hollywood High School, Central

from said schools under the orders of the health officer of 
the city of Los Angeles on account of said alleged case of 
smallpox.

RESOLUTIONS 



Adopted at Banquet, Second Annual Meeting 

American Medical Liberty League, 

Chicago, October 26, ip20 




We demand the abolition of State Medicine; that is, the 
severance of Medicine from the Government, in the same 
manner and degree in which Church and State are separate. 

We hold all medical laws to be class legislation, therefore 
unconstitutional; and wherever the citizen's rights are so 
grossly trespassed upon as to force him to appeal to the courts 
for protection, we recommend that such appeal be made on 
constitutional grounds. 

We propose to lead an aggressive defense of human rights 
in this field, in the courts, in legislatures and by the distribu- 
tion of informing and awakening literature. 

We regard freedom to choose as the primary contention to 
be made, leaving freedom to practice to take its proper and 
secondary place, since freedom to choose properly safe- 
guarded insures freedom of the practitioner to serve. 

We urge the introduction into all legislatures of the two 
bills prepared for the League. No. 1 is a Bill to prohibit in- 
terference in freedom of choice. No. 2 makes all practitioners 
of the healing art or persons educated in such profession, 
ineligible to positions as health officials. 

We advocate the substitution of sanitary boards in place 
of health boards, with sanitary engineers in control of the 
same. 

We demand the expulsion from the public schools of the 
medical interlopers who are there surreptitiously, interfering 
with school work, dictating to parents, using the teaching 
force as their agents in carrying out their nefarious purposes, 
under the plausible but false pretense of protecting the health 
of the children, and destroying the free and public character 
of our educational system. 

We denounce the medical legislation proposed in Congress 
as highly dangerous to the life and liberty of the people. 

four hundred seventeen 



More specifically, we regard the Sheppard-Towner Bill, 
under which prospective mothers and all infants up to one 
year are to be placed virtually under the control of doctors of 
the Public Health Service, making Uncle Sam an obstetrician 
and nurse, as an outrageous proposal, revolting to woman- 
hood in the inquisition proposed to be set up for prying into 
private and personal affairs, and instead of lessening, inevit- 
ably and enormously increasing the pains and perils of 
maternity. 

The Capper-Fess Bill in Congress, placing all the young, 
between the ages of 6 and 18 years under the supervision 
of "Regular Doctors" of the PubHc Health Service, is 
destructive of parental responsibility and demoralizing to all 
concerned. 

The Department of Health Bills, and more particularly that 
fathered by Senator France, a medical man and member of 
the American Medical Association, which proposes physically 
to examine, card-index and label every man, woman and child 
in the country, — all these are despotic and intolerable and 
will leave nothing worth calling liberty to anyone. 

We oppose the torture of animals in what is called labora- 
tory research, as unspeakably cruel to them, evil in its effects 
upon the art of medicine, and debasing to the men who are 
schooled to it, rendering vivisectors dangerous to employ as 
physicians. 

We denounce as vicious and highly immoral the present 
crusade against venereal disease, by which the innocent and 
healthy are branded as victims of vile diseases in countless 
cases on the mere result of the Wasserman test, and compelled 
to submit to a form of drug medication held by many physi- 
cians to be more destructive to health than the disease it is 
supposed to cure. 

We urge the wider and ever wider utilization by medical 
liberty organizations and individuals of The Truth-Teller, 
Battle Creek, Mich., and extend grateful appreciation to W. S. 
Ensign for his self-sacrificing and disinterested labor in pub- 
lishing at his own cost and risk that live medical liberty news- 
paper, which is adopted as the official journal of this League. 

We extend a hearty vote of thanks to the management of 
the Hotel Sherman for their unfailing courtesy and hospitality 

four hundred eighteen 



to the American Medical Liberty League during the entire 
life of the Second Annual Meeting now closing. 

We declare our appreciation of the service rendered by the 
press of Chicago in having our sessions covered by reporters. 

We recommend a whole-hearted support and use of the 
service of the Citizens' Medical Reference Bureau, 145 W. 45 
St., New York City, as an indispensable means of information 
to our whole movement. 

WHEREAS : Medical research work, as practiced, in- 
cludes vivisection which means inexpressible torture to senti- 
ent beings; 

WHEREAS : We believe that Red Cross Societies were 
primarily founded to assurage suffering and not to cause it ; 

Therefore he it Resolved: That we, the American Medi- 
cal Liberty League protest against the Red Cross establishing 
or supporting medical research laboratories; — that we pro- 
test against the use of Red Cross funds for medical research 
and animal experimentation: — 2ndly: All members are 
urged to refuse to contribute to the Red Cross until such time 
as the Red Cross shall go on record as severing all connection, 
financial or otherwise, with medical research work and animal 
experimentation and laboratories founded therefor.

THE GERM-CARRIER BUG AT WORK— YOU MAY 
BE THE NEXT 

Copy of letter sent out, for the good of Humanity, by the 
American Medical Liberty League of which I am proud to 
be a member. This case is now — a year later — stil in the 
courts. A ful report of same can be had from the Secretary 
of the League. It is mighty interesting reading and wer it 
not for "big interests," every pubUcation in the U. S. A. 
would run "leader" articls regarding same. 

AMERICAN MEDICAL LIBERTY LEAGUE 

A citizens' movement for Medical Liberty on the same basis 
as religious liberty. 

December 20, 1919. 

Mrs. Jennie Barmore, 100 West 113 Place, Chicago, has 
been pronounced a "Typhoid carrier" by an arbitrary and 
germ-obsessed health officer. She has been forbidden, for so 
long as she lives, ever cooking or serving food to anyone, 
though keeping boarders has for seven years been her means 
of livelihood, and she has a disabled husband to support and 
a partly paid-for home on her hands. 

She is 65 years of age. In the past seven years she has 
had 75 boarders all told, and never has had a case of typhoid 
in her house, though in that time two of her boarders were 
taken ill, went to hospitals and had typhoid before they left 
the hospitals. 

She herself says she has never had typhoid. 

She wants to make a fight for her rights, but has no means 
with which to do it. Members of this League have urged 
that the League make its presence felt by taking up hen fight. 
Investigation shows her case to be a good one in every way 
and the lady herself to be a woman of character and "sand." 

Circumstances not permitting of delay if we do this at all, 
Clarence S. Darrow the famous lawyer has agreed to take 
the case, and yesterday afternoon, with legal advice, the first 
steps were taken in what promises to be a notable fight, 
attracting wide attention and having far-reaching effects. 

When a man of Mr. Darrow's standing will lay aside his 
great law practice personally to fight for the rights of a hum- 

four hundred twenty 



ble citizen we should back him up with every ounce of force 
morally and financially possible. 

It is a fight that will have to made sometime, that ought 
to have been made long ago, and we believe every member 
will be proud to have it made now and to be a part of the 
force to free our country of a superstitious rule as dangerous 
as the witchcraft persecutions of long ago. 

Here is a subscription blank which we hope to receive back 
promptly from every one with such amount as he or she can 
contribute or collect from others. At this Christmastide let 
one and all do something for this persecuted woman, and at 
the same time do a telling stroke for MEDICAL LIBERTY.

Joseph Paulinsky, 9 years old, little son of John Paulinsky, 
4127 W. 21st Place, Chicago, was vaccinated for the fifth 
time on February 10th, 1919. Previous vaccinations had not 
been "successful." This one was. He was taken sick two 
days later, the blood-poisoning reached a stage where his 
arm had be amputated to save his life, on Feb. 24th. Then, 
lest he have pneumonia, he was inoculated with pneumonia 
"serum." He died March 5. The death certificate reads, 
"pneumonia;" no mention of vaccination. This is the way 
thousands of vaccination deaths are concealed. A "welfare 
nurse" who does not approve of vaccination chanced upon this 
case and gave the League the facts. Help the League get 
the truth to the public. Read this leaflet through. 

FOR YOU TO CONSIDER 

Children by the tens of thousands annually are poisoned, 
their vitality lowered, some few killed outright, others des- 
tined to suffer while they live, through vaccination which has 
been directly or indirectly forced on them — not voluntarily 
sought by their parents. 

Workers in immense numbers are similarly treated and 
with similar results. 

A third and still larger class has come recently under the 
temporary control of the vaccinator. 

This mischief is done by the government (city, state and 
nation) of which YOU are a part. If you do not approve of 
it, what are* you doing to end it? You give your tacit consent 
and are therefore responsible unless you are taking steps 
to end it. Our government has provided the method for mak- 
ing the change. It is the only lawful method — that is, by 
appealing to law-making bodies. Experience has shown that 
the rooting out of a widespread abuse requires, for a suc- 
cessful appeal to law-makers, that it shall be backed by a 
powerful organization. 

The organization is under way and growing. Every oppon- 
ent of compulsory vaccination should enroll without delay, 
get in touch with headquarters and give such assistance as
